DescriptionNVD

Crypt::DSA versions before 1.20 for Perl generate seeds using rand.

Seeds were generated using Perl's built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for security usage.

AnalysisAI

Cryptographic weakness in Crypt::DSA for Perl versions before 1.20 allows remote attackers to predict DSA key material because seeds are generated with Perl's built-in rand() function instead of a cryptographically secure random source. Any DSA keys, signatures, or nonces produced by affected versions may be recoverable through brute-force or statistical analysis of the predictable PRNG state. …

Sign in for full analysis, threat intelligence, and remediation guidance.

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running Crypt::DSA versions prior to 1.20 and document which applications depend on DSA key generation. Within 7 days: Upgrade all affected instances to Crypt::DSA 1.20 or later and initiate forensic analysis of DSA keys and signatures generated during the vulnerable period. …
