Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.07%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The miekg Go DNS package before 1.1.25, as used in CoreDNS before 1.6.6 and other products, improperly generates random numbers because math/rand is used. The TXID becomes predictable, leading to response forgeries.
