-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:120 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : python-pycrypto Date : April 10, 2013 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated python-pycrypto package fixes security vulnerability: 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). Note: any ElGamal keys that have previously been generated by PyCrypto should be regenerated after installing this update. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2417 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-0194 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: 1e4f298ab96e08555e5314c8fa73d050 mbs1/x86_64/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm bd9a308fc11c45024117d57eed49d4ae mbs1/SRPMS/python-pycrypto-2.3-3.1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
