CVE-2006-3419 Information

Description

Tor before 0.1.1.20 uses OpenSSL pseudo-random bytes (RAND_pseudo_bytes) instead of cryptographically strong RAND_bytes and seeds the entropy value at start-up with 160-bit chunks without reseeding which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute force guessing attacks.
