Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the targets system.
The weakness exists due to improper update of the state of the OpenSSL pseudo-random number generator (PRNG), which causes subsequent children with the same process ID to use the same entropy pool, when using fork threading. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
