NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream u-boot-tools package and not the u-boot-tools package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 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.
