Description

The devices are vulnerable to session hijacking due to insufficient
entropy in its session ID generation algorithm. The session IDs are
predictable, with only 32,768 possible values per user, which allows
attackers to pre-generate valid session IDs, leading to unauthorized
access to user sessions. This is not only due to the use of an
(insecure) rand() function call but also because of missing
initialization via srand(). As a result only the PIDs are effectively
used as seed.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
