Vulnerability CVE-2019-15847
Published: 2019-09-02 Modified: 2019-09-03
| Description: |
The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) before version 10 could optimize multiple calls of the __builtin_darn intrinsic into a single call, thus reducing the entropy of the random number generator. This occurred because a volatile operation was not specified. For example, within a single execution of a program, the output of every __builtin_darn() call may be the same. |
Type:
CWE-331 (Insufficient Entropy)
