Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Darwin 1.0/9.1 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown code of the component Pseudo-Random Number Generator. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a remote code execution vulnerability. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A certain pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm that uses XOR and 2-bit random hops (aka "Algorithm X2"), as used in OpenBSD 2.6 through 3.4, Mac OS X 10 through 10.5.1, FreeBSD 4.4 through 7.0, and DragonFlyBSD 1.0 through 1.10.1, allows remote attackers to guess sensitive values such as IP fragmentation IDs by observing a sequence of previously generated values. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged for attacks such as injection into TCP packets and OS fingerprinting.

The weakness was disclosed 03/04/2008 by Amit Klein (Website). The advisory is shared for download at trusteer.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2008-1147 since 03/04/2008. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (40329), SecurityFocus (BID 27647†) and Secunia (SA28819†). The entries VDB-41333 and VDB-41331 are pretty similar. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
