{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394","details":"In the OpenSSL compatibility layer implementation, the function RAND_poll() was not behaving as expected and leading to the potential for predictable values returned from RAND_bytes() after fork() is called. This can lead to weak or predictable random numbers generated in applications that are both using RAND_bytes() and doing fork() operations. This only affects applications explicitly calling RAND_bytes() after fork() and does not affect any internal TLS operations. Although RAND_bytes() documentation in OpenSSL calls out not being safe for use with fork() without first calling RAND_poll(), an additional code change was also made in wolfSSL to make RAND_bytes() behave similar to OpenSSL after a fork() call without calling RAND_poll(). Now the Hash-DRBG used gets reseeded after detecting running in a new process. If making use of RAND_bytes() and calling fork() we recommend updating to the latest version of wolfSSL. Thanks to Per Allansson from Appgate for the report.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:24:01.041483061Z","published":"2025-07-18T23:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-7394"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-7394"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-7394"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/8849"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/8867"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/8898"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/blob/master/ChangeLog.md#wolfssl-release-582-july-17-2025"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.4.8+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libcyassl5","binary_version":"3.4.8+dfsg-1"},{"binary_version":"3.4.8+dfsg-1","binary_name":"libwolfssl0"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.10.2+dfsg-2","3.12.0+dfsg-1","3.12.2+dfsg-1","3.13.0+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libwolfssl15","binary_version":"3.13.0+dfsg-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.1.0+dfsg-2","4.2.0+dfsg-1","4.2.0+dfsg-2","4.2.0+dfsg-3","4.3.0+dfsg-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libwolfssl24","binary_version":"4.3.0+dfsg-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.6.0-3","5.0.0-1","5.1.1-1","5.2.0-1","5.2.0-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libwolfssl32","binary_version":"5.2.0-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.5.4-2","5.5.4-2.1","5.6.4-2","5.6.6-1.2","5.6.6-1.3","5.6.6-1.3build1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libwolfssl42t64","binary_version":"5.6.6-1.3build1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.7.2-0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libwolfssl42t64","binary_version":"5.7.2-0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}},{"package":{"name":"wolfssl","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/wolfssl?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.7.2-0.1","5.8.2-1.2","5.8.4-1","5.9.1-0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"5.9.1-0.1","binary_name":"libwolfssl44"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-7394.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
