+	  <p>libcurl's (new) internal function that returns a good 32bit
+	    random value was implemented poorly and overwrote the pointer
+	    instead of writing the value into the buffer the pointer
+	    pointed to.</p>
+	  <p>This random value is used to generate nonces for Digest and
+	    NTLM authentication, for generating boundary strings in HTTP
+	    formposts and more. Having a weak or virtually non-existent
+	    random there makes these operations vulnerable.</p>
+	  <p>This function is brand new in 7.52.0 and is the result of an
+	    overhaul to make sure libcurl uses strong random as much as
+	    possible - provided by the backend TLS crypto libraries when
+	    present. The faulty function was introduced in this commit.</p>
+	  <p>We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.</p>
