DescriptionNVD

HTTP::Session versions through 0.53 for Perl defaults to using insecurely generated session ids.

HTTP::Session defaults to using HTTP::Session::ID::SHA1 to generate session ids using a SHA-1 hash seeded with the built-in rand function, the high resolution epoch time, and the PID. The PID will come from a small set of numbers, and the epoch time may be guessed, if it is not leaked from the HTTP Date header. The built-in rand function is unsuitable for cryptographic usage.

The distribution includes HTTP::session::ID::MD5 which contains a similar flaw, but uses the MD5 hash instead.
