CVE-2015-5276
The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the random values via unspecified vectors.
Severity: MEDIUM (5.0)
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
