UBUNTU-CVE-2019-11690 (CVE-2019-11690)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2019-05-03 13:29 – Updated: 2026-10-17 09:06 – Source websitegen_rand_uuid in lib/uuid.c in Das U-Boot v2014.04 through v2019.04 lacks an srand call, which allows attackers to determine UUID values in scenarios where CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID is enabled, and Das U-Boot is relied upon for UUID values of a GUID Partition Table of a boot device.
