Description
We discovered several methods used to generate random numbers in ZF1 that potentially used insufficient entropy. These random number generators are used in the following method calls:
```
Zend_Ldap_Attribute::createPassword
Zend_Form_Element_Hash::_generateHash
Zend_Gdata_HttpClient::filterHttpRequest
Zend_Filter_Encrypt_Mcrypt::_srand
Zend_OpenId::randomBytes
```
In each case, the methods were using rand() or mt_rand(), neither of which can generate cryptographically secure values. This could potentially lead to information disclosure should an attacker be able to brute force the random number generation.
Moreover, we discovered a potential security issue in the usage of the openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() function in Zend_Crypt_Math::randBytes, reported in PHP BUG #70014, and the security implications reported in a discussion on the random_compat library.
