CVE-2008-0166
Description
From CVE.org
OpenSSL 0.9.8c-1 up to versions before 0.9.8g-9 on Debian-based operating systems uses a random number generator that generates predictable numbers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct brute force guessing attacks against cryptographic keys.
Statement
Not vulnerable. This flaw was caused by a third-party vendor patch to the OpenSSL library. This patch has never been used by Red Hat, and this issue therefore does not affect any Fedora, Red Hat, or upstream supplied OpenSSL packages.
