Package: reseed
Version: 1.1
Severity: normal
After fetching a number sequence from random.org reseed does not convert
them correctly into a byte stream before piping into /dev/urandom as
intentioned. This seems to be due to a typo in the perl script:
# generate a byte stream from the numbers
@bytes = split /\n/, $response->content();
map { chr($_) } @bytes;
[...]
print RANDOM (join "", @bytes);
Changing the map into
map { $_ = chr } @bytes;
fixes this.
