Summary

In the Linux kernel's DRBG (CTR_DRBG) random number generator, a bug was fixed where drbg_ctr_generate() sometimes returned success despite failure, leaving the output buffer uninitialized.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to the use of uninitialized data as random values, compromising the system's cryptographic security and potentially allowing an attacker to predict generated values.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64306.
