CVE-2002-20002 (2025-01-02)

The Net::EasyTCP package before 0.15 for Perl always uses Perl's builtin rand(), which is not a strong random number generator, for cryptographic keys.

Changes for version 0.07

  • Minor changes to the negotiation routine, including improved security during encryption key exchange.
  • Implemented a "password" feature where a server will require a password from the client before accepting connection.
  • Added 2 methods (remoteip() and remoteport()) to retrieve the IP address/port of the remote connection.
  • Added support to Crypt::Rijndael encryption.
  • Added support to Crypt::RC6 encryption.
  • Changes to the send and receive routines to allow the server to better manage large amounts of data from several clients at the same time.
