    1)  problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
    
        Researchers from the University of Stanford have discovered certain
        weaknesses in OpenSSL's RSA decryption algorithm. It allows remote
        attackers to compute the private RSA key of a server by observing
        its timing behavior. This bug has been fixed by enabling "RSA blinding",
        by default.
          Additionally an extension of the "Bleichenbacher attack" has been
        developed by Czech researchers against OpenSSL. This weakness has
        also been fixed.
    
    
        Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
        integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
        Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
        the update.
        Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
        are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

    2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
    
        - glibc
        New glibc packages will be available soon which fix a RPC XDR integer
        overflow. The packages are currently being tested.
    
        - vnc
        VNC (Virtual Network Computing) uses a weak cookie generation process
        which can be exploited by an attacker to bypass authentication.
        New packages are currently being tested and will be available on our
        FTP servers soon.
    
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    
    3)  standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
    
      - Package authenticity verification:
    
        SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
        the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
        to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
        sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
        the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
        independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
        file or rpm package:
        1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
        2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
    
        1) execute the command
            md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
           after you downloaded the file from a SuSE ftp server or its mirrors.
           Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
           announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
           cryptographically signed (usually using the key securityat_private),
           the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
           We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
           email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
           the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
           list software.
           Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
           announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
           and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
           md5 sums for the files are useless.
    
        2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
           of an rpm package. Use the command
            rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
           to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
           filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
           package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed rpm
           package file.
           Prerequisites:
            a) gpg is installed
            b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
               key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
               ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
               signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
               that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving
               this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
               running the command (do "su -" to be root):
                gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
               SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
               key "buildat_private" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
               the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
               is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
               and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
    
    
      - SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
        subscribe:
    
        suse-securityat_private
            -   general/linux/SuSE security discussion.
                All SuSE security announcements are sent to this list.
                To subscribe, send an email to
                    <suse-security-subscribeat_private>.
    
        suse-security-announceat_private
            -   SuSE's announce-only mailing list.
                Only SuSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
                To subscribe, send an email to
                    <suse-security-announce-subscribeat_private>.
    
        For general information or the frequently asked questions (faq)
        send mail to:
            <suse-security-infoat_private> or
            <suse-security-faqat_private> respectively.
