Starting October 3, 2022, Lambda will roll out an update to the underlying Linux kernel, patching it to 4.14.285. This update includes a change to how entropy collection is implemented, resulting in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail reporting 256 instead of higher values.
This can impact libraries like Bless so by October 3, 2022 we will need to;
Approach:
Add in more entropy to
dev/urandom
using theRANDOM_SEED_BYTES_OPTION
and ignore the available entropy all together. Remove theENTROPY_MINIMUM_BITS_DEFAULT
option and change the entropy check to aseed_entropy
method.
