Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45751)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass CHAP authentication.
The vulnerability exists due to the application attempts to achieve entropy by calling rand without srand. The PRNG seed is always 1, and thus the sequence of challenges is always identical.This results in predictable challenges which an attacker capable of recording network traffic between iSCSI target and initiator can abuse to bypass CHAP authentication by replaying previous responses.
