Debian OpenSSL Vulnerability

Hi All
A heads up on: Debian OpenSSL Vulnerability
Quote
On May 13, 2008, the Debian project announced that an update to Debian's OpenSSL package in 2006 contains a vulnerability that can weaken the system's Random Number Generator, making SSH and SSL encryption and authentication predictable. The vulnerability is specific to Debian and does not affect other non-Debian operating systems. However a non-Debian system can be affected if they are using cryptographic keys from an affected Debian system.

Re: Debian OpenSSL Vulnerability

This subject has already been posted about in General Chit-Chat here.  Gary, I think your post is in a much better place, where it is much more likely to be found and seen!
