OpenSSL FIPS Object Module fails to properly generate random seeds

Overview The OpenSSL FIPS Module fails to perform auto-seeding, which may allow an attacker to predict pseudo-randomly generated data. Description OpenSSL is a toolkit that provides SSL and TLS protocols as well as a general purpose cryptography library. The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module provides an...

OpenSSL PRNG contains design flaw that allows a user to determine internal state and predict future output

Overview The pseudorandom number generator PRNG in OpenSSL has a weakness that allows an attacker to determine its internal state and subsequently determine its future output values. Description OpenSSL's PRNG hashes an internal state to produce output values, which are supposed to be pseudorando...
