VAR-201310-0485

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 21:42

The random-number generator in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 provides lengthy exclusive access for processing of large requests, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (temporary generator outage) via an application that requires many random numbers. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a local denial of service vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service condition. Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282 (Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.9 are vulnerable
