Description
The openssl_random_pseudo_bytes function in ext/openssl/openssl.c in PHP before 5.4.44, 5.5.x before 5.5.28, and 5.6.x before 5.6.12 incorrectly relies on the deprecated RAND_pseudo_bytes function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.
Affected configurations
• php php (>= 5.4.0 < 5.4.44)
• php php (>= 5.5.0 < 5.5.28)
• php php (>= 5.6.0 < 5.6.12)
• canonical ubuntu linux 12.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 14.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 15.10
