AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: tgt versions prior to 1.0.93

Description: The issue is related to the Linux target framework (tgt) attempting to generate random numbers by using rand without srand, resulting in a predictable PRNG seed. This causes the sequence of challenges to be always identical. An attacker capable of recording network traffic can abuse this by replaying previous responses, potentially leading to a CHAP authentication bypass.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.0.93, update to version 1.0.93 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tgt framework until a patch is applied. Avoid using the tgt framework for authentication until the issue is resolved.
