Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-08-25 20:50 – Updated: 2023-06-13 20:01

Summary

Improper random number generation in nanorand

Details

In versions of nanorand prior to 0.5.1, RandomGen implementations for standard unsigned integers could fail to properly generate numbers, due to using bit-shifting to truncate a 64-bit number, rather than just an as conversion. This often manifested as RNGs returning nothing but 0, including the cryptographically secure ChaCha random number generator.

Severity

5.1 (Medium)
