This primarily a debian bug right? So all debian servers out there must update

The value that is supposed to generate random keys was reduced to a mere 
unsigned integer 0 to 32,767. Brute force attack will be much easier. I'd 
suggest that we should set strict firewall rules on the SSH port 22 for the 
meantime do not open it to public.
