Descriptions
Joomla! 1.5 before 1.5.7 initializes PHP's PRNG with a weak seed, which makes it easier for attackers to guess the pseudo-random values produced by PHP's mt_rand function, as demonstrated by guessing password reset tokens, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3681.
Joomla! 1.5 anterior a v1.5.7 inicializa el PHP's PRNG con una semilla débil, lo que facilita a los atacantes obtener valores pseudo-aleatorios originados por la función PHP's mt_rand, como se ha demostrado obteniendo un reinicio de contraseña. Vulnerabilidad distinta de CVE-2008-3681.
