CVE-2013-4442 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4442):
  Password Generator (aka Pwgen) before 2.07 uses weak pseudo generated
  numbers when /dev/urandom is unavailable, which makes it easier for
  context-dependent attackers to guess the numbers.

CVE-2013-4440 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-4440):
  Password Generator (aka Pwgen) before 2.07 generates weak non-tty passwords,
  which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to guess the password
  via a brute-force attack.
