Changelog

openssl (0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.2) dapper-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: Remote arbitrary code execution, remote DoS.
  * crypto/asn1/tasn_dec.c, asn1_d2i_ex_primitive(): Initialize 'ret' to avoid
    an infinite loop in some circumstances. [CVE-2006-2937]
  * ssl/ssl_lib.c, SSL_get_shared_ciphers(): Fix len comparison to correctly
    handle invalid long cipher list strings. [CVE-2006-3738]
  * ssl/s2_clnt.c, get_server_hello(): Check for NULL session certificate to
    avoid client crash with malicious server responses. [CVE-2006-4343]
  * Certain types of public key could take disproportionate amounts of time to
    process. Apply patch from Bodo Moeller to impose limits to public key type
    values (similar to Mozilla's libnss). Fixes CPU usage/memory DoS. [CVE-2006-2940]
  * Updated patch in previous package version to fix a few corner-case
    regressions. (This reverts the changes to rsa_eay.c/rsa.h/rsa_err.c, which
    were determined to not be necessary).
