Title
Glibc: vdso getrandom acceleration may return predictable randomness
Summary
An insufficient entropy vulnerability was found in glibc. The getrandom and arc4random family of functions may return predictable randomness if these functions are called again after the fork, which happens concurrently with a call to any of these functions.
