CVE-2013-0294
First published: Fri Feb 15 2013(Updated: )
Nathaniel McCallum reported that pyrad was using Python's random module in a number of places to generate pseudo-random data. In the case of the authenticator data, it was being used to secure a password sent over the wire. Because Python's random module is not really suited for this purpose (not random enough), it could lead to password hashing that may be predictable. This has been corrected in upstream's forthcoming version 2.1 via: <a href="https://github.com/wichert/pyrad/commit/38f74b36814ca5b1a27d9898141126af4953bee5">https://github.com/wichert/pyrad/commit/38f74b36814ca5b1a27d9898141126af4953bee5</a>
