CVE-2005-0106
SSLeay.pm in libnet-ssleay-perl before 1.25 uses the /tmp/entropy file for entropy if a source is not set in the EGD_PATH variable, which allows local users to reduce the cryptographic strength of certain operations by modifying the file.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
