php is vulnerable to insecure randomness. The vulnerability as it was discovered that the PHP lcg_value() function used insufficient entropy to seed the pseudo-random number generator. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to predict values returned by the function, which are used to generate session identifiers by default. This update changes the function’s implementation to use more entropy during seeding.
