CVE-2001-1141
The Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) in SSLeay and OpenSSL before 0.9.6b allows attackers to use the output of small PRNG requests to determine the internal state information, which could be used by attackers to predict future pseudo-random numbers.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
