The MSCAPI/MSCNG interface implementation in GSKit in IBM Rational ClearCase 7.1.2.x before 7.1.2.17, 8.0.0.x before 8.0.0.14, and 8.0.1.x before 8.0.1.7 does not properly generate random numbers, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.

IBM Rational ClearCase 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.14 and 8.0.1 before 8.0.1.7, when Installation Manager before 1.8.2 is used, retains cleartext server passwords in process memory throughout the installation procedure, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging access to the installation account.
