Fix RNG when startup occurred recently #171

Closed BugBaron closed 2 years ago

BugBaron commented 2 years ago

The random number generator function (magic()) uses the 'getrandom()' function. This function relies on the /dev/urandom pool, which may not be initialized when the system has only recently started up. If this function is called before the pool is initialized, then the program will abort.

Added a check for if this case occurs, and in that case the OpenSSL functions are used instead if they are present, otherwise the random() function is used.

Any idea why the build is failing?

@BugBaron That was due to SonarCloud job misconfiguration.
