{"id":"MGASA-2014-0167","summary":"Updated perl-Authen-Captcha package uses randomly generated filenames","details":"An issue in previous versions of perl-Authen-Captcha is that the generated \npublic string (file name of the picture) for the captcha is merely a \nchecksum of the secret string. It is trivial to break such short strings \neven using google instead of a rainbow table.\n\nThis new version of perl-Authen-Captcha fixes the problem by producing a \nrandom filename for the captcha.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T04:28:19.343658Z","published":"2014-04-09T05:30:35Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0167.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-April/131155.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13165"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"perl-Authen-Captcha","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/perl-Authen-Captcha?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.24.0-1.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0167.json"}},{"package":{"name":"perl-Authen-Captcha","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/perl-Authen-Captcha?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.24.0-1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0167.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
