The vulnerability of the rand() function in the Crypt-Random random number generation module for Perl allows a attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the protected information.

The vulnerability of the rand function in the Crypt-Random random number generation module for Perl is related to errors in the code of the pseudo-random number generator. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the...

Fedora 41 : perl-Data-Entropy (2025-8a7bd987fe)

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-8a7bd987fe advisory. Prior to version 0.008, the Perl module Data::Entropy relied on Perl's builtin rand function to choose an entropy source. Version 0.008 does away wi...

CVE-2024-52322
