CVE-2024-41708: Ada Web Server did not use a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator.
AWS.Utils.Random and AWS.Utils.Random_String used Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random, which is not designed to be cryptographically secure. Random_String also introduced a bias in the generated pseudorandom string values, where the values “1” and “2” had a much higher frequency than any other character.
The internal state of the Mersenne Twister PRNG could be revealed, and lead to a session hijacking attack.
This update fixes the problem by using /dev/urandom instead of Discrete_Random.
What is the Vulnerability?Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager (vTM), a software application used to manage and optimize the delivery of applications across networks is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability. This flaw (CVE-2024-7593) arises from an incorrect implementation of an authentication algorithm, which can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication in the admin panel, allowing them to create a new admin user.
