After the fix of insecure number generation here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-8867 This function as well as the text here needs an update. I believe this function is safe to use in FIPS compliant apps as well as it now used RAND_bytes instead of the insecure RAND_pseudo_bytes(). ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 117.20.31.76 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-random-pseudo-bytes.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/121975 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/121975 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/121975 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
