[Fixed] - CVE-2025-40918 (Insecure source of randomness), required addition of dependency on
Crypt::URandom
[Changed] - Modules Authen::SASL::Perl::CRAM_MD5, Authen::SASL::Perl::DIGEST_MD5 and
Authen::SASL::CRAM_MD5 marked as deprecated based on the respective RFC documents;
- Update module metadata to point to the new 'perl-authen-sasl' org on GitHub to which the modules moved
- Use VERSION declarations in 'package' statements, since our minimum Perl version is 5.14 anyway
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
