Dwayne Litzenberger reports:

In PyCrypto before v2.6.1, the Crypto.Random pseudo-random
number generator (PRNG) exhibits a race condition that may cause
it to generate the same ‘random’ output in multiple processes that
are forked from each other. Depending on the application, this
could reveal sensitive information or cryptographic keys to remote
attackers.
