Broadcom · Broadcom Chips · CVE-2020-6616
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Broadcom chips (affected versions not specified)
Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 devices with the BCM4361 chipset
**Description**
The issue arises from the use of a low-entropy Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) in situations where a Hardware Random Number Generator (HRNG) should be used, leading to potential spoofing. This affects devices such as Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 with the BCM4361 chipset.
**Recommendations**
For Broadcom chips, consider implementing a Hardware Random Number Generator (HRNG) to replace the low-entropy PRNG.
For Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8 devices with the BCM4361 chipset, update the device firmware to a version that utilizes a HRNG for Bluetooth random-number generation, if available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
