It's not good when you see stuff like this pop up on IRC:

13:41 < unprompted> Throw out your ssh keys, debian users.

The official announcement:

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.

Good thing my SSH keys were generated on a Gentoo system… I think.
