Package: libcrypto++5.2c2a Version: 5.2.1c2a-3 Severity: serious It appears that libcrypto++ is compiled with support for the IDEA block cipher algorithm, which is patented in the US and in Europe until 2010 or thereabouts. Please see Bug #65368 for details.
It may be that RC2, RC5 and RC6 (all present in libcrypto++) are still considered patent-encumbered as well; I'm not sure. If Debian's policy on IDEA and other patented ciphers has changed since I last heard (they were removed from OpenSSL and GnuPG), feel free to close this bug.
