==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

tgt could be made to generate an identical sequence of challenges.

Software Description:

Details:

rand without srand. An attacker could possibly use this issue to make tgt
generate an identical sequence of challenges, resulting in authentication
bypass.
