NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kdeplasma-addons package and not the kdeplasma-addons package as distributed by Debian.

The KRandom::random function in KDE Paste Applet after 4.10.5 in kdeplasma-addons uses the GNU C Library rand function's linear congruential generator, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by predicting the generator output.
