What is CVE-2013-5180?
CVE-2013-5180 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apple Mac Os X, published on 24 Oct 2013. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official 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.
Weakness: CWE-310
