Last modified

CVE-2014-4422 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The kernel in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 uses a predictable random number generator during the early portion of the boot process, which allows attackers to bypass certain kernel-hardening protection mechanisms by using a user-space process to observe data related to the random numbers.. EPSS estimates a 1.88% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
