The libgcrypt library provides general-purpose implementations of various cryptographic algorithms.

Security Fix(es):

  • A design flaw was found in the libgcrypt PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator). An attacker able to obtain the first 580 bytes of the PRNG output could predict the following 20 bytes. (CVE-2016-6313)

Red Hat would like to thank Felix DΓΆrre and Vladimir Klebanov for reporting this issue.
