Vulnerability  : denial of service
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2006-2940

The fix used to correct CVE-2006-2940 introduced code that could lead to
the use of uninitialized memory.  Such use is likely to cause the
application using the openssl library to crash, and has the potential to
allow an attacker to cause the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.7e-3sarge4.

For the unstable and testing distributions (sid and etch,
respectively), these problems will be fixed in version 0.9.7k-3 of the
openssl097 compatibility libraries, and version 0.9.8c-3 of the
openssl package.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssl package.  Note that
services linking against the openssl shared libraries will need to be
restarted. Common examples of such services include most Mail
Transport Agents, SSH servers, and web servers.
