Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-262 - In PyCrypto before v2.6.1, the Crypto.Random pseudo-random number generator exhibits a race condition that may cause it to generate the same 'random' output in multiple processes that are forked from each other. Depending on the application, this could reveal sensitive information or cryptographic keys to remote attackers.
