tgt (aka Linux target framework) before 1.0.93 attempts to achieve entropy by calling rand without srand. The PRNG seed is always 1, and thus the sequence of challenges is always identical.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-8325-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that tgt incorrectly tried to achieve entropy by calling rand without srand. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to make tgt generate an identical sequence of challenges, resulting in     authentication bypass.
