-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:117 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : python-pycrypto Date : July 27, 2012 Affected: 2011., Enterprise Server 5.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in python-pycrypto: PyCrypto before 2.6 does not produce appropriate prime numbers when using an ElGamal scheme to generate a key, which reduces the signature space or public key space and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force attacks to obtain the private key (CVE-2012-2417). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2417 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2011: 6172bb25eb289a81b12509bd3ef1d4a9 2011/i586/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 4075a2f644f897d1622f141d79c2b18c 2011/SRPMS/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2011/X86_64: d19fa50bcb90f639a18dcedd65bafc00 2011/x86_64/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 4075a2f644f897d1622f141d79c2b18c 2011/SRPMS/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5: f9d5014592f76e6774fb88e349074b68 mes5/i586/pycrypto-2.0.1-3.3mdvmes5.2.i586.rpm e833decc6f1f52d25dc72be1bf845bd6 mes5/SRPMS/pycrypto-2.0.1-3.3mdvmes5.2.src.rpm Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64: 69e203abd4c4d400031e1fd516c0ff83 mes5/x86_64/pycrypto-2.0.1-3.3mdvmes5.2.x86_64.rpm e833decc6f1f52d25dc72be1bf845bd6 mes5/SRPMS/pycrypto-2.0.1-3.3mdvmes5.2.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
