O'Brien <obrien@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-02-13 06:39:46 +0000 Fortuna: Fix false negatives in is_random_seeded() (1) We may have had sufficient entropy to consider Fortuna seeded, but the random_fortuna_seeded() function would produce a false negative if fs_counter was still zero. This condition could arise after random_harvestq_prime() processed the /boot/entropy file and before any read-type operation invoked "pre_read()." Fortuna's fs_counter variable is only incremented (if certain conditions are met) by reseeding, which is invoked by random_fortuna_pre_read(). is_random_seeded(9) was introduced in r346282, but the function was unused prior to r346358, which introduced this regression. The regression broke initial seeding of arc4random(9) and broke periodic reseeding[A], until something other than arc4random(9) invoked read_random(9) or read_random_uio(9) directly. (Such as userspace getrandom(2) or read(2) of /dev/random. By default, /etc/rc.d/random does this during multiuser start-up.) (2) The conditions under which Fortuna will reseed (including initial seeding) are: (a) sufficient "entropy" (by sheer byte count; default 64) is collected in the zeroth pool (of 32 pools), and (b) it has been at least 100ms since the last reseed (to prevent trivial DoS; part of FS&K design). Prior to this revision, initial seeding might have been prevented if the reseed function was invoked during the first 100ms of boot. This revision addresses both of these issues. If random_fortuna_seeded() observes a zero fs_counter, it invokes random_fortuna_pre_read() and checks again. This addresses the problem where entropy actually was sufficient, but nothing had attempted a read -> pre_read yet. The second change is to disable the 100ms reseed guard when Fortuna has never been seeded yet (fs_lasttime == 0). The guard is intended to prevent gratuitous subsequent reseeds, not initial seeding! Machines running CURRENT between r346358 and this revision are encouraged to refresh when possible. Keys generated by userspace with /dev/random or getrandom(9) during this timeframe are safe, but any long-term session keys generated by kernel arc4random consumers are potentially suspect. [A]: Broken in the sense that is_random_seeded(9) false negatives would cause arc4random(9) to (re-)seed with weak entropy (SHA256(cyclecount || FreeBSD_version)).
