From de48c77a08514ed654e05e710444452ffab6d0aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: deraadt <> Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2014 22:23:12 +0000 Subject: http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=2016265dfbab162ec30718b5e7480add42598158 Don't know the full story, but it looks like a "can't do random perfectly, so do it god awful" problem was found in 2013, and replaced with "only do it badly if a flag is set". New flags (SSL_MODE_SEND_SERVERHELLO_TIME and SSL_MODE_SEND_SERVERHELLO_TIME) were added [Ben Laurie?] to support the old scheme of "use time_t for first 4 bytes of the random buffer". Nothing uses these flags [ecosystem scan by sthen] Fully discourage use of these flags in the future by removing support & definition of them. The buflen < 4 check is also interesting, because no entropy would be returned. No callers passed such small buffers. ok miod sthen --- src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c') diff --git a/src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c b/src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c index f2c7dd2442..45dfb64f92 100644 --- a/src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c +++ b/src/lib/libssl/s3_clnt.c @@ -674,9 +674,7 @@ ssl3_client_hello(SSL *s) /* else use the pre-loaded session */ p = s->s3->client_random; - - if (ssl_fill_hello_random(s, 0, p, SSL3_RANDOM_SIZE) <= 0) - goto err; + RAND_pseudo_bytes(p, SSL3_RANDOM_SIZE); /* Do the message type and length last */ d = p = &(buf[4]); -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
