Ruby Random Number Generation Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 does not reset the random seed upon forking, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the values of random numbers by leveraging knowledge of the number sequence obtained in a different child process, a related issue to CVE-2003-0900. NOTE: this issu...

DEBIAN-CVE-2011-0766

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys...

PT-2010-5090

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apple Safari affected versions not specified Description: The JavaScript implementation in WebKit, used by Apple Safari, utilizes a weak random number generation algorithm. This weakness simplifies the task for remote attackers to track users...

Researchers Improve Random-Number Generation with Forced Memory 'Twitching'

A German research team has now developed a true random number generator that uses an extra layer of randomness by making a computer memory element, a flip-flop, twitch randomly between its two states 1 or 0. Immediately prior to the switch, the flip-flop is in a “metastable state” where its...

Improper access control

PowerDNS Recursor before 3.1.5 uses insufficient randomness to calculate 1 TRXID values and 2 UDP source port numbers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to poison a DNS cache, related to a algorithmic deficiencies in rand and random functions in external libraries, b use of a 32-bit seed...

CVE-2003-1376: Undefined Security Weakness

WinZip 8.0 uses weak random number generation for password protected ZIP files, which allows local users to brute force the encryption keys and extract the data from the zip file by guessing the state of the stream coder...

BIND: Weak random number generation

Background ISC BIND is the Internet Systems Consortium implementation of the Domain Name System DNS protocol. Description Amit Klein from Trusteer reported that the random number generator of ISC BIND leads, half the time, to predictable 1 chance to 8 query IDs in the resolver routine or in zone...

CVE-2006-3419

Tor before 0.1.1.20 uses OpenSSL pseudo-random bytes RANDpseudobytes instead of cryptographically strong RANDbytes, and seeds the entropy value at start-up with 160-bit chunks without reseeding, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force guessing attacks...

CVE-2002-1107

Cisco Virtual Private Network VPN Client software 2.x.x, and 3.x before 3.5.2B, does not generate sufficiently random numbers, which may make it vulnerable to certain attacks such as spoofing...
