The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Debian Security Advisory DSA-1576-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : openssh
Vulnerability : predictable random number generator
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: yes
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0166

The recently announced vulnerability in Debian's openssl package
(DSA-1571-1, CVE-2008-0166) indirectly affects OpenSSH. As a result,
all user and host keys generated using broken versions of the openssl
package must be considered untrustworthy, even after the openssl update
has been applied.

1. Install the security updates

This update contains a dependency on the openssl update and will
automatically install a corrected version of the libss0.9.8 package,
and a new package openssh-blacklist.

Once the update is applied, weak user keys will be automatically
rejected where possible (though they cannot be detected in all
cases). If you are using such keys for user authentication, they
will immediately stop working and will need to be replaced (see
step 3).

OpenSSH host keys can be automatically regenerated when the OpenSSH
security update is applied. The update will prompt for confirmation
before taking this step.

2. Update OpenSSH known_hosts files

The regeneration of host keys will cause a warning to be displayed when
connecting to the system using SSH until the host key is updated in the
known_hosts file. The warning will look like this:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

In this case, the host key has simply been changed, and you should update
the relevant known_hosts file as indicated in the error message.

It is recommended that you use a trustworthy channel to exchange the
server key. It is found in the file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub on
the server; it's fingerprint can be printed using the command:

ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

In addition to user-specific known_hosts files, there may be a
system-wide known hosts file /etc/ssh/known_hosts. This is file is
used both by the ssh client and by sshd for the hosts.equiv
functionality. This file needs to be updated as well.

3. Check all OpenSSH user keys

The safest course of action is to regenerate all OpenSSH user keys,
except where it can be established to a high degree of certainty that the
key was generated on an unaffected system.

Check whether your key is affected by running the ssh-vulnkey tool, included
in the security update. By default, ssh-vulnkey will check the standard
location for user keys (~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/identity),
your authorized_keys file (~/.ssh/authorized_keys and
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2), and the system's host keys
(/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key).

To check all your own keys, assuming they are in the standard
locations (~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa, or ~/.ssh/identity):

ssh-vulnkey

To check all keys on your system:

sudo ssh-vulnkey -a

To check a key in a non-standard location:

ssh-vulnkey /path/to/key

If ssh-vulnkey says "Unknown (no blacklist information)", then it has no
information about whether that key is affected. In this case, you
can examine the modification time (mtime) of the file using "ls -l".
Keys generated before September 2006 are not affected. Keep in mind
that, although unlikely, backup procedures may have changed the file
date back in time (or the system clock may have been incorrectly
set).

If in doubt, generate a new key and remove the old one from any
servers.

4. Regenerate any affected user keys

OpenSSH keys used for user authentication must be manually regenerated,
including those which may have since been transferred to a different system
after being generated.

New keys can be generated using ssh-keygen, e.g.:

$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 user@host

5. Update authorized_keys files (if necessary)

Once the user keys have been regenerated, the relevant public keys
must be propagated to any authorized_keys files (and authorized_keys2
files, if applicable) on remote systems. Be sure to delete the lines
containing old keys from those files..


In addition to countermeasures to mitigate the randomness vulnerability,
this OpenSSH update fixes several other vulnerabilities:

CVE-2008-1483:
Timo Juhani Lindfors discovered that, when using X11 forwarding, the
SSH client selects an X11 forwarding port without ensuring that it
can be bound on all address families. If the system is configured
with IPv6 (even if it does not have working IPv6 connectivity), this
could allow a local attacker on the remote server to hijack X11
forwarding.

CVE-2007-4752:
Jan Pechanec discovered that ssh fails back to creating a trusted X11
cookie if creating an untrusted cookie fails, potentially exposing
the local display to a malicious remote server when using X11
forwarding.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.3p2-9etch1. Currently, only a subset of all supported
architectures have been built; further updates will be provided when
they become available.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the testing distribution
(lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 4.7p1-9.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages and take the
measures indicated above.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
