That should be fixed in mcrypt - it should use arc4random functions

Hello,

I just tried to install owncloud 9.0.0, and it failed loudly. They changed
the way random numbers are chosen. So if you have mcrypt extension and your
web server is chrooted (and/or your web directory is mounted nodev, which is
the default), mcrypt will fail to read /dev/urandom. This will create an
exception and the next means of getting random numbers will not be tried,
leading owncloud to fail completely.
I made a patch for the 3rd party library they call:

Best Regards




Meanwhile, it has been fixed here: https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat/commit/cb4b63fff6313e928556a9865ddaaf8daf0da0ec
