Debian DSA-2502-1 : python-crypto - programming error

It was discovered that that the ElGamal code in PythonCrypto, a collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols for Python used insecure insufficient prime numbers in key generation, which lead to a weakened signature or public key space, allowing easier brute-force attacks on such keys...

FreeBSD : pycrypto -- vulnerable ElGamal key generation (f45c0049-be72-11e1-a284-0023ae8e59f0)

Dwayne C. Litzenberger of PyCrypto reports : In the ElGamal schemes for both encryption and signatures, g is supposed to be the generator of the entire Z^p group. However, in PyCrypto 2.5 and earlier, g is more simply the generator of a random sub-group of Z^p. The result is that the signature...
