  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"USN-612-3 addressed a weakness in OpenSSL certificate and key
generation in OpenVPN by adding checks for vulnerable certificates
and keys to OpenVPN. A regression was introduced in OpenVPN when
using TLS with password protected certificates which caused OpenVPN
to not start when used with applications such as NetworkManager.

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.");
