Date: September 24, 2024
Bugs: #719466

Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in GCC, which can lead to flawed
code generation.

Background
==========

The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C,
Fortran, Ada, Go, D and Modula-2 as well as libraries for these
languages (libstdc++,...).

Affected packages
=================

Package Vulnerable Unaffected
------------- ------------ ------------
sys-devel/gcc < 10.0 >= 10.0

Description
===========

A vulnerability has been discovered in GCC. Please review the CVE
identifier referenced below for details.

Impact
======

The POWER9 backend in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 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.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GCC users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/gcc-10.0"

And then select it with gcc-config:

# gcc-config latest

In this case, users should also rebuild all affected packages with
emerge -e, e.g.:

# emerge --usepkg=n --emptytree @world
