Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qcom-rng - fix infinite loop on requests not multiple of WORD_SZ The commit referenced in the Fixes tag removed the 'break' from the else branch in qcom_rng_read(), causing an infinite loop whenever 'max' is not a multiple of WORD_SZ. This can be reproduced e.g. by running: kcapi-rng -b 67 >/dev/null There are many ways to fix this without adding back the 'break', but they all seem more awkward than simply adding it back, so do just that. Tested on a machine with Qualcomm Amberwing processor.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19.236 < 4.19.245) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.4.187 < 5.4.196) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.10.108 < 5.10.118) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.15.31 < 5.15.42) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.17 < 5.17.10) • linux linux kernel 5.18
