Package : bouncycastle Version : 1.44+dfsg-2+deb6u1 CVE ID : CVE-2015-7940 Debian Bug : 802671 The Bouncy Castle Java library before 1.51 does not validate that a point is within the elliptic curve, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private keys via a series of crafted elliptic curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key exchanges, aka an "invalid curve attack." For Debian 6 “Squeeze”, this issue has been fixed in version 1.44+dfsg-2+deb6u1 of bouncycastle. Many thanks to upstream author Peter Dettmann who reviewed the backport that we prepared. -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: http://debian-handbook.info/get/
