Hello, regarding http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1140-1/ posted today (originally documented as http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-3435), what the notices do not mention is that this attack, under certain circumstances, can lift enough key material from a private DSA key to reconstruct the whole key in feasible time. More information in my article at http://7bits.nl/projects/pamenv-dsakeys/pamenv-dsakeys.html Related blogpost at http://7bits.nl/blog/2011/05/30/from-symlinks-to-private-keys Comments or questions, please post a comment at the blog post or mail me privately.
