   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Description | The Debian team recently announced that cryptographic    |
   |             | keys generated by their OpenSSL package were created     |
   |             | using a random number generator with predictable         |
   |             | results. This affects Debian's stable and unstable       |
   |             | distributions, as well as Debian-derived systems such as |
   |             | Ubuntu. See the links in the "Links" session of this     |
   |             | advisory for more information about the vulnerability.   |
   |             |                                                          |
   |             | Asterisk is not directly affected by this vulnerability; |
   |             | however, Asterisk's 'astgenkey' script uses OpenSSL in   |
   |             | order to generate cryptographic keys. Therefore,         |
   |             | Asterisk users who use RSA for authentication of IAX2    |
   |             | calls and who use DUNDi may be using compromised keys.   |
   |             | This vulnerability affects any such installation whose   |
   |             | cryptographic keys were generated on a Debian-based      |
   |             | system, even if the Asterisk installation itself is not  |
   |             | on a Debian-based system.                                |
   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

   +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Resolution | Since this is not a vulnerability in Asterisk itself but  |
   |            | in a tool that Asterisk uses, there will be no new        |
   |            | releases made; however, users who are affected by the     |
   |            | Debian OpenSSL vulnerability are strongly encouraged to   |
   |            | upgrade their package of OpenSSL to an uncompromised      |
   |            | version (version 0.9.8c-4 or later) and regenerate all    |
   |            | keys used by Asterisk.                                    |
