Hardware-specific rng_algs have no\nin-kernel user, and unlike hwrng there's no feed into the actual Linux\nRNG. As such, there's really no point to this code. There are of\ncourse other rng_alg drivers that are similarly unused, but they're\nsimilarly in the process of being phased out, e.g.\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/r/20260529193648.18172-1-ebiggers@kernel.org and\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/r/20260529220430.34135-1-ebiggers@kernel.org\n\nGiven that, there's no point in fixing forward these vulnerabilities,\nand it makes much more sense to simply roll back the addition of this\ndriver. If this platform provides TRNG (not PRNG) functionality, it\ncould make sense to add a hwrng driver, but it would be quite different."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:\n\ncrypto: loongson - Eliminar loongson-rng roto y sin usar\n\nEl rng_alg loongson-rng tiene varias vulnerabilidades, incluyendo no proporcionar seguridad hacia adelante, y un error de uso despu\u00e9s de liberaci\u00f3n debido al uso de wait_for_completion_interruptible().\n\nMientras tanto, el framework rng_alg realmente no tiene ning\u00fan prop\u00f3sito en primer lugar aparte de acceder a los algoritmos de software crypto/drbg.c y crypto/jitterentropy.c.
