    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1970-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Stefan Fritsch January 13, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : openssl
    Vulnerability : denial of service
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2009-4355

    It was discovered that a significant memory leak could occur in openssl, related to the reinitialization of zlib. This could result in a remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability when using the Apache httpd
    server in a configuration where mod_ssl, mod_php5, and the php5-curl
    extension are loaded.

    The old stable distribution (etch) is not affected by this issue.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.8g-15+lenny6.

    The packages for the arm architecture are not included in this advisory.
    They will be released as soon as they become available.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. The issue does not seem to be exploitable with the apache2 package contained in squeeze/sid.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages. You also need to
    restart your Apache httpd server to make sure it uses the updated
    libraries.

    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.

    If you use apache2, you should restart it to make sure that it uses the
    updated libraries:

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias lenny (stable)
    - -----------------------------------------

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