Descriptions

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.

El generador de números aleatorios en el kernel de Apple Mac OS X anteriores a 10.9 proporciona acceso exclusivo estenso para procesar peticiones grandes, lo cual permite a usuarios locales causar denegación de servicio (agotamiento temporal del generador) a través de una aplicación que requiera muchos números aleatorios.
