[ruby-core:88740] [Ruby trunk Bug#15039] Random.urandom and SecureRandom arc4random use
From:
naruse@...

ruby-core #88740
Issue #15039 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE). I agree with your fundamental concept: if there's more code, there's more bugs. I don't fully agree with "userspace CSPRNG is harmful" because it's required. For example, ruby can't read /dev/urandom if it runs in jail. And as Jeremy already pointend, OpenBSD doesn't have urandom alternative syscall because max output size of getentropy(2) is 256 bytes. (It means getentropy(2) is not a urandom alternative; just call getentropy(2) enough times is not acceptable) Therefore the use of arc4random(3) is not avoidable on OpenBSD. The use of kern.arandom on FreeBSD can be acceptable. On NetBSD, we should use cprng functions. http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?cprng+9.i386+NetBSD-7.0.2 On Darwin, there seems similar issue as OpenBSD. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15039: Random.urandom and SecureRandom arc4random use https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15039#change-73794 * Author: Freaky (Thomas Hurst) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Random.urandom defaults to arc4random() on a lot of platforms, including FreeBSD. On all currently released versions of FreeBSD, arc4random() is, as the name suggests, a dubious ARC4-based userspace PRNG dating from circa 1997. Given the entire point of #9569 was that using the userspace CSPRNG in OpenSSL over /dev/urandom or equivalent is a bad idea, this seems to mean it's regressed to an *even worse* state on these platforms. Even in cases where it's using something more modern (FreeBSD 12, OpenBSD), it's still a userspace CSPRNG. If that's fine, we might as well *pick a known-good one* and use that everywhere. Like, say, OpenSSL's. Since the conclusion of #9569 seems to have been otherwise, I'd suggest dropping arc4random() as a potential source for Random.urandom due to it not matching the desired semantics. Rust's OsRng seems a good template for alternative _syscall implementations: https://docs.rs/rand/0.5.5/rand/rngs/struct.OsRng.html#platform-sources -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
