Hi all,

It is discovered that the random number generator in Debian's openssl 
package is predictable. As a result, cryptographic key material may be 
guessable.  This vulnerability affects the following Voyage Linux 
release that were based on Debian Etch:

    * All 0.3 versions
    * All 0.4 versions
    * 0.5.0

You are strongly advised to perform the following procedures to update 
Voyage of the above affected versions.

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, add the line:

    deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main

2. Run:

    # apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

Next, follows the information below to regenerate encryption keys and 
detect comprised keys on your affected systems.
