commit 43838a23 upstream. The crng_init variable has three states: 0: The CRNG is not initialized at all 1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases 2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for cryptographic use cases. The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the last state. This addresses CVE-2018-1108.
