net-misc/iputils-20200821, started seeding a pseudo-random number generator using the getrandom function. This function was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel. A fallback is in place for when the function fails (e.g. is not implemented), but there is a bug which results in an infinite loop. This affects only systems running a Linux kernel <3.17.
