CWE-310

Description

The RAND_bytes function in libssh before 0.6.3, when forking is enabled, does not properly reset the state of the OpenSSL pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), which causes the state to be shared between children processes and allows local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a pid collision.

Affected configurations

• libssh libssh (<= 0.6.2) • libssh libssh 0.4.7 • libssh libssh 0.4.8 • libssh libssh 0.5.0 • libssh libssh 0.5.1 • libssh libssh 0.5.2 • libssh libssh 0.5.3 • libssh libssh 0.5.4 • libssh libssh 0.5.5 • libssh libssh 0.6.0 • libssh libssh 0.6.1
