CWE-310
CVSS vector
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Description

The openssl_random_pseudo_bytes function in ext/openssl/openssl.c in PHP before 5.4.44, 5.5.x before 5.5.28, and 5.6.x before 5.6.12 incorrectly relies on the deprecated RAND_pseudo_bytes function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

Affected products and versions

  • PHP — From 5.4.0 (including) to 5.4.44 (excluding)
  • PHP — From 5.5.0 (including) to 5.5.28 (excluding)
  • PHP — From 5.6.0 (including) to 5.6.12 (excluding)
