Description hatapitk 2008-05-14 13:08:48 UTC
Due to a bug in the openssl library shipped in Debian
  http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571
  http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-2
all SSH keys generated on recent Debian and Ubuntu systems are so weak that they
should be considered compromised. Since I have generated my SSH key on such
system, it should be revoked and replaced with a new one.

Fingerprint of the compromised key is
  5f:15:b3:9d:95:d7:90:24:8b:ba:ac:bf:e7:5b:b1:b2
Fingerprint of the new, valid key that I will attach to this issue is
  a3:f3:c4:27:57:e4:ec:ba:71:b1:3a:64:5d:6b:9c:9c

Since this bug has been in Debian and Ubuntu releases for slightly over a year,
it is likely that there are other similarly weak keys installed on OOo servers.
It might make sense to scan for them using some of the published tools (more
information in the security advisories linked above).
