Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's loongson-rng random number generator. This component suffered from a use-after-free vulnerability, which could lead to system instability or denial of service. Additionally, the loongson-rng did not provide forward security, a crucial cryptographic property. Due to these security weaknesses and its limited utility, the loongson-rng driver has been removed from the kernel.
