Fedora has issued an advisory on July 23, 2011:

Mageia 2 is not affected; it was fixed in R14B03.

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-05 16:53:10 CET
This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 David Walser 2012-11-21 17:11:04 CET
Updated package uploaded for Mageia 1.

Advisory:
========================

Updated erlang packages fix security vulnerability:

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and
SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses
predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote
attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys (CVE-2011-0766).

Testing complete on Mageia 1 i586 and x86-64.

No poc, so just testing that the updates all install cleanly, and the
erl shell is working.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
erlang-R14B03-1.mga1.src.rpm
from Mageia 1 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.
