CVE-2024-57854 (2026-03-05)

Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002 for Perl uses a poor random number generator. Version v0.003 switched to use Data::Rand::Obscure instead of Crypt::Random for generation of a random initialisation vectors. Data::Rand::Obscure uses Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not suitable for cryptographic functions.

Changes for version 0.009002 - 2011-10-24

  • BUG FIXES
    • Changed the shebang for the send_nsca script so on install, it will be set to the path of the perl this distribution was installed to.
