Subject: [PATCH] efi: random: fix NULL-deref when refreshing seed
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 10:15:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221216091514.6298-1-johan+linaro@kernel.org> (raw)
Do not try to refresh the RNG seed in case the firmware does not support
setting variables.
This is specifically needed to prevent a NULL-pointer dereference on the
Lenovo X13s with some firmware revisions.
Fixes: e7b813b32a42 ("efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized")
