Debian Bug : 951362 951363
CVE-2020-8631
In cloud-init, relies on Mersenne Twister for a random password,
which makes it easier for attackers to predict passwords, because
rand_str in cloudinit/util.py calls the random.choice function.
CVE-2020-8632
In cloud-init, rand_user_password in
cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py has a small default pwlen
value, which makes it easier for attackers to guess passwords.

0.7.6~bzr976-2+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your cloud-init packages.
