Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

post-2.8 we no longer use random increments, but a much more sophisticated
way.,

please note that using real random initial sequence numbers is pretty
much in violation of the RFC's, since random number generators are
totally allowed to provide a number like 42 three times in a row.
