Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2013.0289
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0289)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-Crypt-DSA' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0289 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'perl-Crypt-DSA' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0289 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The Crypt::DSA (aka Crypt-DSA) module 1.17 and earlier for Perl, when
/dev/random is absent, uses the Data::Random module, which makes it easier
for remote attackers to spoof a signature, or determine the signing key of
a signed message, via a brute-force attack (CVE-2011-3599).

This update removes the fallback to Data::Random.

Affected Software/OS:
'perl-Crypt-DSA' package(s) on Mageia 2, Mageia 3.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.8

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
