A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Cryptographic API Component Object Model (CAPICOM) that allows an attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability to take complete control of an affected system.

I think it knocks the whole "required for secure cryptographics purposes" idea on the head. I'll stick with Math::Random::MT and my own mechanism for seeding it :)
