CVE-2016-9594 log

Source
Severity Medium
Remote Yes
Type Incorrect calculation
Description
libcurl's (new) internal function that returns a good 32bit random value was implemented poorly and overwrote the pointer instead of writing the value into the buffer the pointer pointed to. This random value is used to generate nonces for Digest and NTLM authentication, for generating boundary strings in HTTP formposts and more. Having a weak or virtually non-existent random there makes these operations vulnerable.
This function has been introduced in 7.52.0
