Affected packages

• PyPI Zope2: < 2.13.19 → fixed in 2.13.19 • PyPI Plone: >= 3.2.2, < 4.2.3 → fixed in 4.2.3 • PyPI Plone: >= 4.3a1, < 4.3b1 → fixed in 4.3b1

Description

Zope before 2.13.19, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, does not reseed the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the value via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT from CVE-2012-5508 due to different vulnerability types (ADT2).
