DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2003-03-03 CVE-2003-0094 Unspecified vulnerability in Andries Brouwer Util-Linux 2.11N/2.11U
A patch for mcookie in the util-linux package for Mandrake Linux 8.2 and 9.0 uses /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random, which causes mcookie to use an entropy source that is more predictable than expected, which may make it easier for certain types of attacks to succeed.
