What is CVE-2018-9057?

The HashiCorp Terraform AWS provider, specifically in the aws/resource_aws_iam_user_login_profile.go file up to version 1.12.0, utilizes an improper pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) algorithm. This flaw can be exploited by remote attackers who gain access to an IAM account provisioned with a weak password, allowing them to compromise system security more easily.
