[PATCH 5.4 012/340] random: fix the RNDRESEEDCRNG ioctl

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

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 11a0b5e0ec8c13bef06f7414f9e914506140d5cb upstream.

The RNDRESEEDCRNG ioctl reseeds the primary_crng from itself, which
doesn't make sense.  Reseed it from the input_pool instead.

Fixes: d848e5f8e1eb ("random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG")
