Systems that have the python-pycryptopp package should not be vulnerable, as this backend is preferred over python-crypto. After applying this update, existing sessions will be invalidated. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.4-4+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy), and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.3-1.1. We recommend that you upgrade your beaker packages.
