CVSS 2.0 ([email protected]): 4.3 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Weaknesses: CWE-310

Description

The srandomdev function in Libc in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9, when the kernel random-number generator is unavailable, produces predictable values instead of the intended random values, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge of these values, related to a compiler-optimization issue.

Affected configurations

• apple mac os x (<= 10.8.5) • apple mac os x 10.8.0 • apple mac os x 10.8.1 • apple mac os x 10.8.2 • apple mac os x 10.8.3 • apple mac os x 10.8.4 • apple mac os x 10.8.5
