 Hello!
 What should I have do? I use Debian for subca, rootca is working on
 Fedora. I generated 400 cert on subca and distributed to clients.
 Last week I saw message about openssl vulnerability in Debian:
 Luciano Bello 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.  I check certs
 are Affected.  So in this way I must revoked all client 's certs and
 subca cert in rootca. But i have a questions what about crl, where
 client find crl if I revoced (and genetated new) subca cert. I would
 like ask developers about way to find solution??
   
here is a hint of answer
Normally   the things SHOULD work  that way
the  user's certs  are recognized  becuse they are issued by the trusted 
CA subca
subca is trusted because of certificate issued by rootCA
so revoking the subca certificate and issue the corresponding CRL from 
rhe unvulnerable root CA should be sufficient
Now you must be sure that the both check of  user and subca are   always 
effective

I hope this help

Hello Dominique!!
Ok thx for answer. But I don't understand one thing. I  think the way
to do this is: So first step is revoked user certs on subca and these
serials I can find in subca crl , next is  revoked subca cert, and
root crl include this information. So next step is new generete new
cert from subca, subscribe this subca cert in  root ca, import back it
on subca. I use batch processor to automatics process generating cert
for client. But I don't know one thing. The crl on subca  include
revoked  cert??? That is important because client can verificate
status old certs.

Maybe this is wrong way?? Maybe I only need revoke cert of  subca,
destroy subca and create new. But what about client. Where they find
info about this action that mean crl. I want create new subca that has
domaine name the same like this destroy old.
