AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid using vulnerable versions of Crypt::DSA or consider alternative cryptographic modules that use secure random number generation.
Description
Crypt::DSA versions before 1.20 for Perl generate seeds using rand. Seeds were generated using Perl's built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for security usage.
