Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2883-1
January 28, 2016
openssl vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 15.10
Summary:
OpenSSL could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.
Software Description:
– openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools
Details:
Antonio Sanso discovered that OpenSSL reused the same private DH exponent
for the life of a server process when configured with a X9.42 style
parameter file. This could allow a remote attacker to possibly discover the
server’s private DH exponent when being used with non-safe primes.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 15.10:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.2d-0ubuntu1.3
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
