CVE-2006-0898

Crypt::CBC Perl module 2.16 and earlier, when running in RandomIV mode, uses an initialization vector (IV) of 8 bytes, which results in weaker encryption when used with a cipher that requires a larger block size than 8 bytes, such as Rijndael.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
