CVE-2024-57854 (2026-03-05)

Net::NSCA::Client versions through 0.009002 for Perl uses a poor random number generator. Version v0.003 switched to use Data::Rand::Obscure instead of Crypt::Random for generation of a random initialisation vectors. Data::Rand::Obscure uses Perl's built-in rand() function, which is not suitable for cryptographic functions.

Changes for version 0.006

  • THIS CONTAINS AN IMPORTANT FIX AND PREVIOUS VERSIONS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
  • Fixed an issue where the client would try to parse the initial packet too early and throw an error about the UNIX timestamp not meeting a type constraint.
