Fedora 43 : perl-GD-SecurityImage (2026-bdeade52d9)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 369373

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-bdeade52d9 advisory.

 Until now, GD::SecurityImage used Perl's built-in rand function to generate secrets. The rand function is unsuitable for security applications because it is predictable and reversible. With this update, the module is patched to use Crypt::URandom::MonkeyPatch to override built-in rand (CVE-2026-13082)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected perl-GD-SecurityImage package.
