SUSE CVE-2025-2814

Crypt::CBC versions between 1.21 and 3.05 for Perl may use the rand function as the default source of entropy, which is not cryptographically secure, for cryptographic functions. This issue affects operating systems where "/dev/urandom'" is unavailable. In that case, Crypt::CBC will fallback to u...

[SECURITY] Fedora 42 Update: perl-Data-Entropy-0.008-1.fc42

This module maintains a concept of a current selection of entropy source. Algorithms that require entropy, such as those in Data::Entropy::Algorithms, can use the source nominated by this module, avoiding the need for entropy source objects to be explicitly passed around. This is convenient becau...
