Descriptions

The xfer_secondary_pool function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel 2.4 before 2.4.35 performs reseed operations on only the first few bytes of a buffer, which might make it easier for attackers to predict the output of the random number generator, related to incorrect use of the sizeof operator.

La función xfer_secondary_pool en el archivo drivers/char/random.c en el kernel de Linux versiones 2.4 anteriores a 2.4.35, realiza operaciones de reconfiguración solo en los primeros bytes de un búfer, lo que podría hacer mas fácil para los atacantes predecir la salida del generador de números aleatorios, relacionado con el uso incorrecto del operador sizeof.
