NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream u-boot package and not the u-boot package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

gen_rand_uuid in lib/uuid.c in Das U-Boot v2014.04 through v2019.04 lacks an srand call, which allows attackers to determine UUID values in scenarios where CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID is enabled, and Das U-Boot is relied upon for UUID values of a GUID Partition Table of a boot device.
