high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434926

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The Crypto.Random.atfork function in PyCrypto before 2.6.1 does not properly reseed the pseudo-random
number generator (PRNG) before allowing a child process to access it, which makes it easier for context-
dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a race condition in which a child
process is created and accesses the PRNG within the same rate-limit period as another process.
