Descriptions
The (1) rand and (2) mt_rand functions in PHP 5.2.6 do not produce cryptographically strong random numbers, which allows attackers to leverage exposures in products that rely on these functions for security-relevant functionality, as demonstrated by the password-reset functionality in Joomla! 1.5.x and WordPress before 2.6.2, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2107, CVE-2008-2108, and CVE-2008-4102.
Las funciones (1) rand y (2) mt_rand en PHP 5.2.6 no producen criptográficamente fuertes números aleatorios, el cual permite a los atacantes aprovechar que algunos productos confían en estas funciones para relevantes funcionalidades de seguridad, como demuestra la funcionalidad de reinicialización de contraseñas en Joomla! 1.5.x y WordPress en versiones anteriores a 2.6.2, son diferentes vulnerabilidades a CVE-2008-2107, CVE-2008-2108, y CVE-2008-4102.
