Problems with CSPRNG in wrapper.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've hit an issue with git that has me stumped at a customer site - so I
have limited visibility on what is actually wrong. This is pretty urgent
that I resolve this.

In git/wrapper (lines 477 from :
       if (csprng_bytes(&v, sizeof(v)) < 0)
       	return error_errno("unable to get random bytes for temporary file");

First, I was not aware that csprng was a git dependency - not sure why
because we depend on OpenSSL_random that should return random bytes. Does
this still mean that there is a dependency on PRNGD, or is there another
dependency I am missing.

Should I get them to revert back to an older git version (which one)? Is a
patch needed?

Thanks,
Randall
