Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security and bug fix update

Updated kernel packages that fix security issues and bugs in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. These n...

/dev/random broken

The random number feature in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, 1 does not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or 2 uses an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might cause the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on...

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-2006-3419

CVE-2006-3419 affects Tor prior to 0.1.1.20. The issue stems from using OpenSSL RAND_pseudo_bytes instead of a cryptographically strong RAND_bytes, and seeding entropy at startup with 160-bit chunks without reseeding. This design makes brute-force guessing attacks more feasible for an attacker. M...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : perl-Net_SSLeay (MDKSA-2006:023)

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that the perl Net::SSLeay module used the file /tmp/entropy as a fallback entropy source if a proper source was not set via the environment variable EGDPATH. This could potentially lead to weakened cryptographic operations if an attacker was able to provi...
