    Synopsis
    ========

    rclone uses weak random number generation such that generated passwords
    can be easily cracked.

    Background
    ==========

    rclone is a problem to sync files to and from various cloud storage
    providers.

    Affected packages
    =================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    1 net-misc/rclone < 1.53.3 >= 1.53.3

    Description
    ===========

    Passwords generated with rclone were insecurely generated and are
    vulnerable to brute force attacks.

    Impact
    ======

    Data kept secret with a password generated by rclone may be disclosed
    to a local attacker.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All rclone users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/rclone-1.53.3"

    References
    ==========
