CVE-2026-80922

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the crypto: qcom-rng module, the random number generator does not allow zero as an output, making its output distinguishable from truly random. Zero is a valid random number and should be allowed.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the weakening of cryptographic security because the generator's output is not fully random, which may facilitate attacks on encryption or other mechanisms relying on randomness.

Recommendation

It is recommended to apply the kernel patch that allows zero to be generated as a valid random number.
