Subject[PATCH 4.9 74/95] random: fix crng_ready() test
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

commit 43838a23a05fbd13e47d750d3dfd77001536dd33 upstream.

The crng_init variable has three states:

0: The CRNG is not initialized at all
1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for
early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases
2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for
cryptographic use cases.

The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the
last state. This addresses CVE-2018-1108.
