Summary

The ValiCert Enterprise Validation Authority (EVA) Administration Server versions 3.3 through 4.2.1 uses insufficiently random data to generate session tokens and certificates, which may facilitate brute force attacks.

Risk Assessment

Local or remote attackers could more easily steal tokens or certificates, posing a serious security threat to the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of the software that improves random data generation and uses more secure entropy sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

ValiCert Enterprise Validation Authority (EVA) Administration Server 3.3 through 4.2.1 uses insufficiently random data to (1) generate session tokens for HSMs using the C rand function, or (2) generate certificates or keys using /dev/urandom instead of another source which blocks when the entropy pool is low, which could make it easier for local or remote attackers to steal tokens or certificates via brute force guessing.
