Predictable Seed Vulnerability in Crypto Application and SSH Library

CVE-2011-0766 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:C/I:N/A:N

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys.
