By: COMODO The security flaw (discovered last week) affects OpenSSL in Debian versions of the Linux operating system. The security flaw allows brute forcing of vulnerable keys and could lead to a compromise of secure communications using the keys. To support and assist affected merchants in their efforts to remedy the problem, Comodo is offering free replacement certificates for any certificate that may have been compromised, even if the original certificate was provided by another company. Affected users are advised to replace their certificates in order to ensure the security of their sensitive data including passwords, financial accounts, credit card numbers, and identities. Comodo customers can log into their accounts and replace their certificates with a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request). Customers should update the OpenSSL package to the latest version, create a new CSR and key pair then proceed to replace the affected certificate.
