CVE-2000-0445

Summary

CVE-2000-0445 is a vulnerability affecting the pgpk command in PGP 5.x installed on Unix systems. This issue arises due to the use of an insufficiently random data source during non-interactive key pair generation. Predictable keys may be generated as a result, posing a significant risk to data confidentiality and integrity. Attackers could potentially decrypt intercepted encrypted communications or impersonate authentic users, exploiting this weakness. Upgrading to a patched version of PGP or implementing stronger random number generation methods are recommended mitigations.
