From: Tedd Ho-Jeong An <tedd.an@intel.com> The Coverity scan reported (CWE-676): rand() should not be used for security-related applications, because linear congruential algorithms are too easy to break. This series of patch replaces the standard random number generation function, rand(), to getrandom() syscall, which provides more secure random number than the standard rand() function.
