Summary
HPE NonStop MODULAR NSJ is affected in versions T3066L17^AAP and earlier, T3066K17, and T3066K21^AAM. The random number generator uses a predictable seed (CWE-337), so its output can be guessed. A remote attacker with low privileges and some user interaction can predict generated random values, with low impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability.
