Summary

We discovered several methods used to generate random numbers in ZF1 that potentially used insufficient entropy. These random number generators are used in the following method calls: ``` Zend_Ldap_Attribute::createPassword Zend_Form_Element_Hash::_generateHash Zend_Gdata_HttpClient::filterHttpRequest Zend_Filter_Encrypt_Mcrypt::_srand Zend_OpenId::randomBytes ``` In each case, the methods were using rand() or mt_rand(), neither of which can generate cryptographically secure values. This could potentially lead to information disclosure should an attacker be able to brute force the random number generation. Moreover, we discovered a potential security issue in the usage of the [openssl_random_pseudo_bytes()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-random-pseudo-bytes.php) function in Zend_Crypt_Math::randBytes, reported in PHP BUG [#70014](https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70014), and the security implications reported in a discussion [on the random_compat library.](https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat/issues/96)
