PHP Insufficient Entropy Vulnerability - CVE-2008-2108

Critical
Reference: CVE-2008-2108
NVD Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2008-2108
Title: PHP Insufficient Entropy Vulnerability
Overview:

The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5 when running on 64-bit systems performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mt_rand functions.
