Debian DSA-1763-1 Critical: OpenSSL Denial Of Service Issue

It was discovered that insufficient length validations in the ASN.1
handling of the OpenSSL crypto library may lead to denial of service
when processing a manipulated certificate.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8c-4etch5 of the openssl package and in version
0.9.7k-3.1etch3 of the openssl097 package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8g-15+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8g-16.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl packages.
