Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Crypt::DSA versions before 1.20 for Perl generate seeds using rand. Seeds were generated using Perl's built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for security usage.
