CVE-2006-0591

Assigner-mitre

Assigner Org ID-8254265b-2729-46b6-b9e3-3dfca2d5bfca

Published At-08 Feb, 2006 | 01:00

Updated At-07 Aug, 2024 | 16:41

The crypt_gensalt functions for BSDI-style extended DES-based and FreeBSD-sytle MD5-based password hashes in crypt_blowfish 0.4.7 and earlier do not evenly and randomly distribute salts, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords from a stolen password file due to the increased number of collisions.
