Summary

The default configuration of Java 1.5 on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 contains a jurisdiction policy that limits Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) key sizes to 128 bits, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt ciphertext produced by JCE.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.
