CVE-2014-0017

Published: 3/14/2014 Last updated: 8/6/2024 Reserved: 12/3/2013

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.
