    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSL. The Common
    Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:

    CVE-2012-0884

    Ivan Nestlerode discovered a weakness in the CMS and PKCS #7
    implementations that could allow an attacker to decrypt data
    via a Million Message Attack (MMA).

    CVE-2012-1165

    It was discovered that a NULL pointer could be dereferenced
    when parsing certain S/MIME messages, leading to denial of
    service.

    CVE-2012-2110

    Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, discovered a vulnerability
    in the way DER-encoded ASN.1 data is parsed that can result in
    a heap overflow.


    Additionally, the fix for CVE-2011-4619 has been updated to address an
    issue with SGC handshakes.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.8o-4squeeze11.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.0.1a-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
