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.

Changes for version 0.14

  • Win32 fixes: use Data::Random as a fallback in make_random, better support for locating openssl. Thanks to CFRANKS for the patch.
  • Makefile.PL update, to the latest Module::Install. Thanks to Adam Kennedy for the patch.
