CVE-2011-3599 (2011-10-10)

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.

NAME

Crypt::DSA::Key::PEM - Read/write DSA PEM files

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::DSA::Key;
my $key = Crypt::DSA::Key->new( Type => 'PEM', ...);
$key->write( Type => 'PEM', ...);

DESCRIPTION

Crypt::DSA::Key::PEM provides an interface to reading and writing DSA PEM files, using Convert::PEM. The files are ASN.1-encoded and optionally encrypted.

You shouldn't use this module directly. As the SYNOPSIS above suggests, this module should be considered a plugin for Crypt::DSA::Key, and all access to PEM files (reading DSA keys from disk, etc.) should be done through that module.

Read the Crypt::DSA::Key documentation for more details.
