In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: use get_random_u32 instead of prandom
bh might occur while updating per-cpu rnd_state from user context, ie. local_out path.
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: nginx/2725 caller is nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen] Call Trace: check_preemption_disabled+0xde/0xe0 nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen]
Use the random driver instead, this also avoids need for local prandom state. Moreover, prandom now uses the random driver since d4150779e60f ("random32: use real rng for non-deterministic randomness").
Based on earlier patch from Pablo Neira.
