CVE-2013-5180 (GCVE-0-2013-5180)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2013-10-24 01:00 – Updated: 2024-09-17 03:58
VLAI
Summary
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.
