Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions EDK2 (affected versions not specified)
Description The EDK2's Network Package is susceptible to a predictable TCP Initial Sequence Number, which can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access and potentially lead to a loss of Confidentiality. The vulnerability is related to errors in the code generator of pseudorandom numbers when handling the Seed parameter in the NetRandomInitSeed() function of the Tianocore edk2 library. This can allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information or cause a denial of service.
