Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: loongson - Remove broken and unused loongson-rng The loongson-rng rng_alg has several vulnerabilities, including not providing forward security, and a use-after-free bug due to the use of wait_for_completion_interruptible(). Meanwhile, the rng_alg framework doesn't really have any purpose in the first place other than to access the software algorithms crypto/drbg.c and crypto/jitterentropy.c. Hardware-specific rng_algs have no in-kernel user, and unlike hwrng there's no feed into the actual Linux RNG. As such, there's really no point to this code. There are of course other rng_alg drivers that are similarly unu
