This allows an attacker to crash an application using OpenSSL by triggering an invalid memory access. Additionally, some applications may be vulnerable to expose contents of a parsed OCSP nonce extension. Packages in the oldstable distribution (lenny) are not affected by this problem. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8o-4squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8o-5. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.8o-5. We recommend that you upgrade your invalid memory access packages.
