CVE-2011-0766
Published: 31 May 2011
The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys.

| jdstrand | Debian squeeze has fix in 1:14.a-dfsg-3squeeze1 |
| mdeslaur | erlang-ssh in in universe in lucid and natty. Patch only adds new functions to crypto library, doesn't change existing ones, so downgrading priority. Backport is difficult due to appup changes. |
