CVE-2026-74402

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: atmel-sha204a - fix blocking and non-blocking rng logic

The blocking and non-blocking paths were failing to provide valid entropy
due to improper buffer management. Reading the buffer starting from byte 1,
only fetch the 32 bytes of random data from the return message.

Tested on an Atmel SHA204A device.

Before (here for blocking), tests showed repeatedly reading reduced bytes.
$ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C
00000000  02 28 85 b3 47 40 f2 ee  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.(..G@..........|

After, the result will be similar to the following:
$ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C
