Tracker summary

CVE-2019-15847 low priority: Debian including 1 source packages (gcc-9), 1 status rows across 1 suites (bullseye): resolved 1.

Description:

The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) before version 10 could optimize multiple calls of the __builtin_darn intrinsic into a single call, thus reducing the entropy of the random number generator. This occurred because a volatile operation was not specified. For example, within a single execution of a program, the output of every __builtin_darn() call may be the same.
