+tor (0.2.0.26-rc-1) experimental; urgency=critical
+
+ * weak cryptographic keys
+
+ It has been discovered that the random number generator in Debian's
+ openssl package is predictable. This is caused by an incorrect
+ Debian-specific change to the openssl package (CVE-2008-0166). As a
+ result, cryptographic key material may be guessable.
+
+ See Debian Security Advisory number 1571 (DSA-1571) for more information:
+ http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html
+
+ If you run a Tor server using this package please see
+ /var/lib/tor/keys/moved-away-by-tor-package/README.REALLY
