description
Botan AutoSeeded_RNG can bypass the configured entropy source after a cleared, unseeded generator is used for an empty output request. On builds without a system RNG, a later request for random data may be derived from insufficiently unpredictable state. Exploitation requires the affected application call sequence after clear().
mitigation
Upgrade Botan to version 3.13.0 or later. Until upgraded, do not reuse AutoSeeded_RNG after clear(); create a new instance or force a reseed before generating security-sensitive random data.
fixed in 3.13.0
outcome
No artifact: no remotely reachable path found.
