Title:
randint method brings potential security issue
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
Invalid
Bug description:
In the /keystone/contrib/oauth1/backends/sql.py, line 210, the source
code is below
token_dict['verifier'] = str(random.randint(1000, 9999))
This code is using randint method to generate a random number,
Standard random number generators should not be used to generate
randomness used for security reasons. For security sensitive
randomness a crytographic randomness generator that provides
sufficient entropy should be used.
