This was intended to include protection in the event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not being used in the default case. A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent and child process sharing state is significantly reduced. If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1d (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1c)." } ] }, "impact": [ { "lang": "eng", "url": "https://www.openssl.org/policies/secpolicy.html#Low", "value": "Low" } ], "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Random Number Generation" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2019-d15aac6c4e", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GY6SNRJP2S7Y42GIIDO3HXPNMDYN2U3A/" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2019-d51641f152", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZN4VVQJ3JDCHGIHV4Y2YTXBYQZ6PWQ7E/" }, { "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "name": "20191001 [SECURITY] [DSA 4539-1] openssl security update", "url": "https://seclists.org/bugtraq/2019/Oct/1" }, { "refsource": "DEBIAN", "name": "DSA-4539", "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4539" }, { "refsource": "UBUNTU", "name": "USN-4376-1", "url": "https://usn.ubuntu.com/4376-1/" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2020.html" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2020.html" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2019-5072832.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/security-advisory/cpuoct2019-5072832.html" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html" }, { "name": "https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20190910.txt", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20190910.txt" }, { "refsource": "CONFIRM", "name": "https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20190919-0002/", "url": "https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20190919-0002/" }, { "name": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b0fe00e2704b5e20334a16d3c9099d1ba2ef1be", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b0fe00e2704b5e20334a16d3c9099d1ba2ef1be" }, { "refsource": "CONFIRM", "name": "https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K44070243", "url": "https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K44070243" }, { "refsource": "CONFIRM", "name": "https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K44070243?utm_source=f5support&utm_medium=RSS", "url": "https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K44070243?utm_source=f5support&utm_medium=RSS" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2020.html" } ] } }
