Re: Accepted openssh 1:4.7p1-9 (source all i386)



Sorry, another question.. 

openssh-server checks for weak keys and offers to replace them. But what
if you have a strong DSA host key, and have been using the broken libssl
for years? My understanding (from irc, possibly very flawed) is that
this effecively exposed the DSA host key to brute-forcing. So that key
should also probably be replaced. Having ssh handle one case but not the
other on upgrade could lead to a false sense of security..
