CWE-333 TRNG不充分信息熵的处理不恰当

Improper Handling of Insufficient Entropy in TRNG

结构: Simple

Abstraction: Variant

状态: Draft

被利用可能性: Low

基本描述

True random number generators (TRNG) generally have a limited source of entropy and therefore can fail or block.

扩展描述

The rate at which true random numbers can be generated is limited. It is important that one uses them only when they are needed for security.

可能的缓解方案

Implementation

策略:

Rather than failing on a lack of random numbers, it is often preferable to wait for more numbers to be created.

示例代码

例

This code uses a TRNG to generate a unique session id for new connections to a server:

bad C

This code does not attempt to limit the number of new connections or make sure the TRNG can successfully generate a new random number. An attacker may be able to create many new connections and exhaust the entropy of the TRNG. The TRNG may then block and cause the program to crash or hang.
