CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) versions prior to 10
Description
The issue concerns the POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) where the optimizer could reduce the entropy of the random number generator by combining multiple calls of the
builtin darn intrinsic into a single call. This happened because the operation was not marked as volatile. As a result, within a single program execution, every call to builtin darn() might produce the same output.Recommendations
For versions prior to 10, update to version 10 or later to resolve the issue.
