Re: (SERIOUS) Debian/Ubuntu OpenSSL/OpenSSH weak keys

Sorry, posted this in a hurry. So, in plain english:

(1) All SSH servers installed on Debian/Ubuntu systems since the described date should have their host keys regenerated after the update.

(2) Any SSH private keys (RSA) you generated on affected systems must also be regenerated.

(3) If you've communicated with affected systems, you must assume that those communications could've been eavesdropped/MITMed.

This is really a nasty vulnerability.

Agreed. Very nasty.

This is going to be any SSL cert made as well. The scope of this is probably massive.
