From 16a6e4ae71e238c70b630f7ceed1d742c38b7ef3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2022 12:44:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: ensure early RDSEED goes through mixer on init commit a02cf3d0dd77244fd5333ac48d78871de459ae6d upstream. Continuing the reasoning of "random: use RDSEED instead of RDRAND in entropy extraction" from this series, at init time we also don't want to be xoring RDSEED directly into the crng. Instead it's safer to put it into our entropy collector and then re-extract it, so that it goes through a hash function with preimage resistance. As a matter of hygiene, we also order these now so that the RDSEED byte are hashed in first, followed by the bytes that are likely more predictable (e.g. utsname()).
