Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssl'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in openssl:

The elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) subsystem in OpenSSL 1.0.0d and
earlier, when the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)
is used for the ECDHE_ECDSA cipher suite, does not properly implement
curves over binary fields, which makes it easier for context-dependent
attackers to determine private keys via a timing attack and a lattice
calculation (CVE-2011-1945).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance
Program. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
openssl on Mandriva Linux 2009.0,
Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5/X86_64

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
