Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 200603-15

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200603-15 – Lincoln Stein discovered that Crypt::CBC fails to handle 16 bytes long initializiation vectors correctly when running in the RandomIV mode, resulting in a weaker encryption because the second part of every block will always be encrypted with zeros if the blocksize of the cipher is greater than 8 bytes. Versions less than 2.17 are affected.
