Overview
pyrad is a RADIUS tools.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Randomness. It was using Python's random module in a number of places to generate pseudo-random data. In the case of the authenticator data, it was being used to secure a password sent over the wire. Because Python's random module is not really suited for this purpose (not random enough), it could lead to password hashing that may be predictable.
Note: CVE-2013-0295 is a duplicate of CVE-2013-0294.
