/**
* Software site: http://www.simplemachines.org
*
* SMF leaks current state of random number generator through hidden input parameter `sc`
* of the password reminder form:
*
* $_SESSION['rand_code'] = md5(session_id() . rand());
* $sc = $_SESSION['rand_code'];
*
* Since max random number generated with rand() on win32 is 32767 and session id
* is known an attacker can reverse the md5 hash and get the random number value.
* On win32 every random number generated with rand() is used as a seed for the next
* random number. So if SMF is installed on win32 platform an attacker can predict
* all the next random numbers. When password reset is requested SMF uses rand()
* function to generate validation code:
*
* $[CREDENTIAL_REDACTED](preg_replace('/\W/', '', md5(rand())), 0, 10);
*
* So prediction of the validation code is possible and an atacker can set his
* own password for any user.
*
* More information about random number prediction:
* http://www.suspekt.org/2008/08/17/mt_srand-and-not-so-random-numbers/
*
* More information about the behaviour of rand() on win32 (in Russian):
