CVE-2011-2705

CVE-2011-2705 affects Ruby’s SecureRandom.init in lib/securerandom.rb. The vulnerability arises because SecureRandom.random_bytes relies on PID values for initialization in Ruby versions prior to 1.8.7-p352 and 1.9.x prior to 1.9.2-p290, enabling context-dependent attackers to predict the generat...

Ruby Random Number Generation Local Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The SecureRandom.randombytes function in lib/securerandom.rb in Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 and 1.9.x before 1.9.2-p290 relies on PID values for initialization, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the result string by leveraging knowledge of random strings obtained in an...
