>Description:
A negation was dropped (looks like in 1.11 -> 1.12)
static inline void
_arc4random_addrandom_unlocked(u_char *dat, int datlen)
{
if (__predict_false(rs.initialized)) { // <-- here
arc4_init(&rs);
}
arc4_addrandom(&rs, dat, datlen);
}
Since arc4_init() calls arc4_stir() and calling anything else will wind up
calling arc4_init() this doesn't seem to break anything. Looks like it'll just
throw away whatever changes arc4random_addrandom() made if nothing had
(ever...) been called before it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Looking at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/lib/libc/gen/arc4random.c?rev=1.13&content-type=text/plain
>Fix:
Replace the negation.
static inline void
_arc4random_addrandom_unlocked(u_char *dat, int datlen)
{
if (__predict_false(!rs.initialized)) {
arc4_init(&rs);
}
arc4_addrandom(&rs, dat, datlen);
}
