Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream polarssl package and not the polarssl package as distributed by Ubuntu.

PolarSSL 1.3.8 does not properly negotiate the signature algorithm to use, which allows remote attackers to conduct downgrade attacks via unspecified vectors.
