NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cross-avr-gcc7-bootstrap package and not the cross-avr-gcc7-bootstrap package as distributed by SLES.

The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) before version 10 could optimize multiple calls of the __builtin_darn intrinsic into a single call, thus reducing the entropy of the random number generator. This occurred because a volatile operation was not specified. For example, within a single execution of a program, the output of every __builtin_darn() call may be the same.
