libc++ doesn't use randomized quicksort so that bug is irrelevant. It is an attack on a clever pivot selection method, but the exploit derives from the fact that the pivot isn't actually random, but deterministically pseudorandom. A truly random quicksort isn't vulnerable (since the pivots will be chosen in a different order every time). The real problem with random quicksort is that randomness is really, really hard, and good RNGs are slow. Also, timsort is adaptive, while quicksort is not.
