Last modified
CVE-2005-0106 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. SSLeay.pm in libnet-ssleay-perl before 1.25 uses the /tmp/entropy file for entropy if a source is not set in the EGD_PATH variable, which allows local users to reduce the cryptographic strength of certain operations by modifying the file.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
