#25120: getrandom() syscall failure warning should be a notice and worded better --------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: catalyst | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: needs_review Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.3.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+------------------------------------
Comment (by nickm): My opinion: I think that checking whether urandom is correctly seeded would be a good additional feature to have, but I don't think it needs to block this message downgrade. Anybody who sees the current warning is likelier to get confused than to reason correctly about urandom risks based on it -- and I think nearly everybody sees notice messages as well as warning. IMO. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25120#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
