listed in ssh-vulnkey's output.

This update also adds more information to ssh-vulnkey's manual page.

Original advisory details:

 A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used
 by OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems. As a result of this
 weakness, certain encryption keys are much more common than they
 should be, such that an attacker could guess the key through a
 brute-force attack given minimal knowledge of the system. This
 particularly affects the use of encryption keys in OpenSSH, OpenVPN
 and SSL certificates.");
