The RNG can't actually be seeded from a shell script, due to the reliance on ioctls and the fact that entropy written into the unprivileged /dev/urandom device is not immediately mixed in, making subsequent seed reads dangerous. For this reason, the seedrng project provides a basic "C script" meant to be copy and pasted into projects like Busybox and tweaked as needed: <https://git.zx2c4.com/seedrng/about/>.
The SeedRNG construction has been part of systemd's seeder since January, and recently was added to Android, OpenRC, and Void's Runit, with more integrations on their way depending on context. Virtually every single Busybox-based distro I have seen seeds things in wrong, incomplete, or otherwise dangerous way. For example, fixing this issue in Buildroot requires first for Busybox to have this fix. This commit imports it into Busybox and wires up the basic config. The utility itself is tiny, and unlike the example code from the SeedRNG project, we can re-use libbb's existing hash functions, rather than having to ship a standalone BLAKE2s, which makes this even smaller.

Donenfeld <ja...@zx2c4.com> --- Changes v6->v7: - Use predefined strings where possible. - Open /dev/random with O_RDONLY for ioctl(). Changes v5->v6: - Remove all games with errno to further reduce code size. - Combine error messages that don't benefit from being separated. - Lock directory fd instead of separate file. Changes v4->v5: - Remove global variables and pass dfd by value, opened once instead of twice, which shaves off another 100 bytes. Changes v3->v4: - Hoist bb_strtoul out of min/max to prevent quadruple evaluation. - Don't use separate variables for boottime/realtime. - Make use of ENABLE_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP where appropriate. - Order hash initialization after lock taking per Bernhard's taste. - Add comment description of theory of operation. - The binary is even smaller than v3. Changes v2->v3: - Make extensive use of libbb.h functions, which simplify a lot of code and reduce binary size considerably. - Use the already existing PID_FILE_PATH variable. - Compute bloatcheck for commit message. Changes v1->v2: - Define GRND_INSECURE so that it compiles on older header collections. util-linux/seedrng.c | 263 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 263 insertions(+) create mode 100644 util-linux/seedrng.c diff --git a/util-linux/seedrng.c b/util-linux/seedrng.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000..49b9ab54b --- /dev/null +++ b/util-linux/seedrng.c @@ -0,0 +1,263 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT +/* + * Copyright (C) 2022 Jason A.

It should + * be run once at init time and once at shutdown time. It can be run at other + * times on a timer as well.
