Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 18/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: libnet-ssleay-perl (Debian:12) 1.25-1.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to libnet-ssleay-perl (Debian:12) 1.25-1.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
SSLeay.pm in libnet-ssleay-perl before 1.25 uses the /tmp/entropy file for entropy if a source is not set in the EGD_PATH variable, which allows local users to reduce the cryptographic strength of certain operations by modifying the file.
