+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>This function is brand new in 7.52.0 and is the result of an
+ overhaul to make sure libcurl uses strong random as much as
+ possible - provided by the backend TLS crypto libraries when
+ present. The faulty function was introduced in this commit.</p>
+ <p>We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.</p>
