+ <background>
+ <p>The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper
+ between a client and a local or remote server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>stunnel does not properly update the state of the pseudo-random
+ generator after fork-threading which causes subsequent children with the
+ same process ID to use the same entropy pool. ECDSA and DSA keys, when
+ not used in deterministic mode (RFC6979), rely on random data for its k
+ parameter to not leak private key information.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker may gain access to private key information from ECDSA
+ or DSA keys.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All stunnel users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/stunnel-5.02"
+ </code>
