    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1726-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff February 25, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : python-crypto
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0544

    Mike Wiacek discovered that a buffer overflow in the ARC2 implementation
    of Python Crypto, a collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols
    for Python allows denial of service and potentially the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.1+dfsg1-2.3+lenny0.

    Due to a technical limitation in the Debian archive management scripts
    the update for the old stable distribution (etch) cannot be released synchronously. It will be fixed in version 2.0.1+dfsg1-1.2+etch0 soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-crypto package.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.


    Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny
    - --------------------------------

    Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
