Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple iOS versions prior to 8 Apple TV versions prior to 7

Description The issue concerns the kernel's use of a predictable random number generator during the early boot process. This predictability allows attackers to bypass certain kernel-hardening protection mechanisms. Attackers can use a user-space process to observe data related to the random numbers, potentially exploiting this weakness.

Recommendations For Apple iOS versions prior to 8, update to version 8 or later to resolve the issue. For Apple TV versions prior to 7, update to version 7 or later to resolve the issue.
