It was discovered that OpenSSL does not properly verify DSA signatures
on X.509 certificates due to an API misuse, potentially leading to the
acceptance of incorrect X.509 certificates as genuine (CVE-2008-5077).

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8c-4etch4 of the openssl package, and version
0.9.7k-3.1etch2 of the openssl097 package.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.8g-15.

The testing distribution (lenny) will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your OpenSSL packages.
