For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
0.26-6+deb11u1. The fallback to rand() has been removed, and the module
will use Bytes::Random::Secure to get random numbers, which has been
made a mandatory dependency. In the unlikely event Bytes::Random::Secure
is still unavailable (e.g. manually removed), Net::EasyTCP will crash
rather than use insecure random number generator.
We recommend that you upgrade your libnet-easytcp-perl packages.
