Descriptions

common.py in Paramiko 1.7.1 and earlier, when using threads or forked processes, does not properly use RandomPool, which allows one session to obtain sensitive information from another session by predicting the state of the pool.

common.py in Paramiko 1.7.1 y versiones anteriores, cuando se utilizan hilos o procesos bifurcados, no utiliza apropiadamente RandomPool, lo cual permite a una sesión obtener información confidencial de otra sesión prediciendo el estado de la pila de conexiones.

Dwayne C. Litzenberger reported that the file common.py does not properly use RandomPool when using threads or forked processes. Versions less than 1.7.2 are affected.
