Description:
------------
When running php -r '\random_int(0,20);' on my QNAP NAS, PHP always returns an error. The
kernel on my NAS returns EPERM instead of ENOSYS, thus degrading to /dev/urandom does not happen.
This has been fixed in python a while back (https://bugs.python.org/issue27955, albeit it does not
catch EFAULT).
I suspect this behaviour exists in every PHP version that uses the getrandom() syscall
Test script:
---------------
\random_int(0,20);
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Could not gather sufficient random data in Command line code:1
Stack trace:
#0 Command line code(1): random_int(0, 20)
#1 {main}
thrown in Command line code on line 1
strace output:
getrandom(0xbde13510, 4, 0) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
brk(0xb6587000) = 0xb6587000
writev(2, [{iov_base="", iov_len=0}, {iov_base="PHP Fatal error: Uncaught
Excep"..., iov_len=206}], 2PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Could not gather sufficient
random data in Command line code:1
