CVE-2011-3599

Publication date 10 October 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

The Crypt::DSA (aka Crypt-DSA) module 1.17 and earlier for Perl, when /dev/random is absent, uses the Data::Random module, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof a signature, or determine the signing key of a signed message, via a brute-force attack.
