CVE-2013-1445
Last modified
CVE-2013-1445 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Crypto.Random.atfork function in PyCrypto before 2.6.1 does not properly reseed the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) before allowing a child process to access it, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a race condition in which a child process is created and accesses the PRNG within the same rate-limit period as another process.. EPSS estimates a 2.01% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
