Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSL. The following
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project ids identify them:
A third issue, with no CVE id, is the missing detection of the
critical flag for the TSA extended key usage under certain cases.
Additionally, this update checks for more services that might need to
be restarted after upgrades of libssl, corrects the detection of
apache2 and postgresql, and adds support for the
‘libraries/restart-without-asking’ debconf configuration. This allows
services to be restarted on upgrade without prompting.
The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by CVE-2010-5298
and it might be updated at a later time to address the remaining
vulnerabilities.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1e-2+deb7u7.
For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems will be fixed
soon.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1g-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
