Multiple security issues have been discovered in PolarSSL, a lightweight
crypto and SSL/TLS library:
CVE-2013-4623
Jack Lloyd discovered a denial of service vulnerability in the
parsing of PEM-encoded certificates.
CVE-2013-5914
Paul Brodeur and TrustInSoft discovered a buffer overflow in the
ssl_read_record() function, allowing the potential execution of
arbitrary code.
CVE-2013-5915

the RSA implementation.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed in
version 1.2.9-1~deb6u1 soon (due to a technical limitation the updates
cannot be released synchronously).
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.9-1~deb7u1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your polarssl packages.
