The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the random values via unspecified vectors.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not     properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers     to predict the random values via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-5276)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has gcc packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple integer overflows in libgfortran might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause     a denial of service (Fortran application crash) via vectors related to array allocation. (CVE-2014-5044)

  - The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not     properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers     to predict the random values via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-5276)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the version of the gcc packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU     Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not     properly handle short reads from blocking sources,     which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers     to predict the random values via unspecified     vectors.(CVE-2015-5276)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
