CVE-2026-14570 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:11 libcrypt-dsa-perl.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcrypt-dsa-perl package and not the libcrypt-dsa-perl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
Crypt::DSA versions before 1.22 for Perl draw the DSA signing nonce and private key from a biased random generator, leading to private-key recovery.
"Crypt::DSA::Util::makerandom forces the high bit of every value it returns to obtain an exactly N-bit integer for prime search. The signing nonce and the private key are drawn from makerandom. Because the high bit is always set, the result is not uniform: its top bit is fixed, producing insecure values."
An attacker who collects a modest number of signatures under an affected key, together with the public key, can recover the private key with a lattice attack.
Keys used to sign with an affected version should be considered compromised and new keys should be generated.
