NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpam-tacplus package and not the libpam-tacplus package as distributed by Debian.
libtac in pam_tacplus through 1.5.1 lacks a check for a failure of RAND_bytes()/RAND_pseudo_bytes(). This could lead to use of a non-random/predictable session_id.
