When an object is initialised before forking, or when the functional interface is used, then the internal state for the PRNG is shared across processes and identical random streams will be produced.
Secrets generated in multiprocess applications are predictable across processes.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DAVIDO | Bytes::Random::Secure | unaffected |

Workaround
Apply the patch. Otherwise, only use the object-oriented interface and ensure that the object is only instantiated in a child process after forking. Alternatively, use a different module such as Crypt::PRNG, Crypt::SysRandom or Crypt::URandom.
