Severity CVSS v4.0:

Pending analysis

Type:

CWE-310 Cryptographic Issues

Publication date:

Last modified:

Description

The ssl3_client_hello function in s3_clnt.c in OpenSSL 1.0.2 before 1.0.2a does not ensure that the PRNG is seeded before proceeding with a handshake, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by sniffing the network and then conducting a brute-force attack.

Impact
