CVE-2014-0224

    This update updates the upstream fix for CVE-2014-0224 to address
    problems with renegotiation under some conditions.

    original text:
    KIKUCHI Masashi discovered that carefully crafted handshakes can
    force the use of weak keys, resulting in potential man-in-the-middle
    attacks.

CVE-2012-4929

    ZLIB compression is now disabled by default.  If you need
    to re-enable it for some reason, you can set the environment
    variable OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB.

It's important that you upgrade the libssl0.9.8 package and not
just the openssl package.

All applications linked to openssl need to be restarted. You can
use the tool checkrestart from the package debian-goodies to
detect affected programs or reboot your system.
