Description Mark J. Cox 2007-08-02 10:31:31 UTC 
The OpenSSL team made the following commit:
http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=16077

This is a possible weakness in OpenSSL which could allow a local user in certain
circumstances to divulge information about private keys being used.   For
example if a server has a SSL web server on it, a local unprivileged user may be
able to get hold of the key.  

It's similar to previous issues and is rated severity=moderate
