    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.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.8o-4squeeze12.

    The testing distribution (wheezy), and the unstable distribution (sid),
