For all clarity: the change in 0.9.8b-1 as indicated above did not actually 
introduce the bug described in DSA-1571 yet, but instead created a separate 
rand/md_rand.c file. It did not change the file that was actually compiled.

The bug as in DSA-1571 is only present starting with version 0.9.8c-1, that 
included this changelog entry:

  * Move the modified rand/md_rand.c file to the right place,
    really fixing #363516.

Hence, what the DSA describes as first vulnerable version is the correct one.
