Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Crypt::DSA module versions 1.17 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to spoof a signature or determine the signing key of a signed message via a brute-force attack when /dev/random is absent, as the module uses the Data::Random module in such cases.

Recommendations For Crypt::DSA module versions 1.17 and earlier, consider updating to a version that does not rely on the Data::Random module when /dev/random is absent, or ensure that /dev/random is present to mitigate the risk of brute-force attacks.
