[USN-612-6] OpenVPN regression



=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-612-6               May 14, 2008
openvpn regression
https://launchpad.net/bugs/230193
https://launchpad.net/bugs/230208
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-3
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.04:
  openssl-blacklist               0.1-0ubuntu0.7.04.2
  openvpn                         2.0.9-5ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
  openssl-blacklist               0.1-0ubuntu0.7.10.2
  openvpn                         2.0.9-8ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  openssl-blacklist               0.1-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
  openvpn                         2.1~rc7-1ubuntu3.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart openvpn to effect
the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-612-3 addressed a weakness in OpenSSL certificate and keys
generation in OpenVPN by adding checks for vulnerable certificates
and keys to OpenVPN. A regression was introduced in OpenVPN when
using TLS and multi-client/server which caused OpenVPN to not start 
when using valid SSL certificates.

It was also found that openssl-vulnkey from openssl-blacklist
would fail when stderr was not available. This caused OpenVPN to
fail to start when used with applications such as NetworkManager.

This update fixes these problems. We apologize for the
inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used
 by OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems.  As a result of this
 weakness, certain encryption keys are much more common than they
 should be, such that an attacker could guess the key through a
 brute-force attack given minimal knowledge of the system.  This
 particularly affects the use of encryption keys in OpenSSH, OpenVPN
 and SSL certificates.
