NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-rand-core package and not the rust-rand-core package as distributed by Debian.
An issue was discovered in the rand_core crate before 0.6.2 for Rust. Because read_u32_into and read_u64_into mishandle certain buffer-length checks, a random number generator may be seeded with too little data.
