CVE-2007-5502
Published: Dec 1, 2007
Modified: Aug 7, 2024
PUBLISHED
Description
The PRNG implementation for the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 1.1.1 does not perform auto-seeding during the FIPS self-test, which generates random data that is more predictable than expected and makes it easier for attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that rely on the randomness.
