CVE-2014-0017

Publication date 5 March 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

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.
