+Candidate: CVE-2009-3238
+Description:
+ The get_random_int function in drivers/char/random.c in the Linux kernel before
+ 2.6.30 produces insufficiently random numbers, which allows attackers to predict the
+ return value, and possibly defeat protection mechanisms based on randomization, via
+ vectors that leverage the function's tendency to "return the same value over and
+ over again for long stretches of time."
