Detail

Lincoln Stein discovered that the Perl Crypt::CBC module produces weak ciphertext when used with block encryption algorithms with blocksize > 8 bytes.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a Crypt::CBC module.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.12-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.17-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libcrypt-cbc-perl package.
