CVE-2015-9019 [MEDIUM] CWE-330 libxslt: math.random() in xslt uses unseeded randomness
libxslt: math.random() in xslt uses unseeded randomness
In libxslt 1.1.29 and earlier, the EXSLT math.random function was not initialized with a random seed during startup, which could cause usage of this function to produce predictable outputs.
Statement: The xslt random function provided by libxslt does not offer any security or cryptography guarantees. Applications using libxslt that rely on non-repeatable randomness should be seeding the system PRNG (srand()) themselves, as they would if calling rand() directly.
