CVE-2011-0755  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 5.3.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Integer overflow in the mt_rand function in PHP before 5.3.4 might make it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the return values by leveraging a script's use of a large max parameter, as demonstrated by a value that exceeds mt_getrandmax.
