CVE-2005-3087

The vulnerability concerns the SecureW2 3.0 TLS implementation, where the pre‑master secret (PMS) is generated using weak random number generators (rand/srand from system time). This weak RNG makes it easier for an attacker to guess the PMS and decrypt sensitive data, as described in the CVE reco...

CVE-2001-1467

mkpasswd in expect 5.2.8, as used by Red Hat Linux 6.2 through 7.0, seeds its random number generator with its process ID, which limits the space of possible seeds and makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force password attacks...

CVE-2003-0900

Connected Nessus/NASL entries show that CVE-2003-0900 is mentioned as a related random-seed-for-fork issue in the context of Ruby upgrades, specifically noting that Ruby before 1.8.6-p114 does not reset the random seed on fork, a related issue to CVE-2003-0900. Additional advisories (CVE-2011-300...

Debian DSA-152-1 : l2tpd - missing random seed

Current versions of l2tpd, a layer 2 tunneling client/server program, forgot to initialize the random generator which made it vulnerable since all generated random number were 100% guessable. When dealing with the size of the value in an attribute value pair, too many bytes were able to be copied...

RHEL 2.1 : vnc (RHSA-2003:068)

Updated VNC packages are available to fix a weak cookie vulnerability. VNC is a tool for providing a remote graphical user interface. The VNC server acts as an X server, but the script for starting it generates an MIT X cookie which is used for X authentication without using a strong enough rando...

mkpasswd uses weak random number generator

Overview Mkpasswd generates passwords that are insufficiently random. Description Mkpasswd is a password generation utility included with Red Hat Linux and possibly other Linux distributions. Mkpasswd generates passwords that are not sufficiently random, which may allow an attacker to predict...

l2tpd < 0.68 Multiple Vulnerabilities

The remote host is running a version of l2tpd prior to 0.67. This version is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could allow an attacker to gain a root shell on this host. In addition, this program does not initialize its random number generator. Therefore, an attacker may predict some key value...
