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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A random-number function in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 could return predictable values if the kernel random-number generator was unavailable. That could weaken cryptographic protections in applications depending on this behavior. The issue is legacy, but unmanaged old Mac systems may still carry exposure. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apple Mac OS X systems older than 10.9, especially where applications rely on srandomdev-derived randomness for security-sensitive decisions. Treat this as a legacy platform risk. It is not supported by evidence of active exploitation here, but old OS X systems can undermine cryptographic assurance and should be removed or upgraded. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Mac OS X systems older than 10.9.; Review Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 for vendor remediation details.; Prioritize upgrades for systems running cryptographic or authentication-sensitive workloads..
