From f7a3585a8bee3d91b1cd57dabd4c2b506afef596 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: From: Michal Privoznik Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 09:04:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] util: Don't overflow in virRandomBits MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1667329 (RHEL 7.6.z) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1652894 (RHEL 7.7) The function is supposed to return up to 64bit long integer. In order to do that it calls virRandomBytes() to fill the integer with random bytes and then masks out everything but requested bits. However, when doing that it shifts 1U and not 1ULL. So effectively, requesting 32 random bis or more always return 0 which is not random enough. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
