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.

    descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8.5 or 10.9.5 that is missing Security Update 2015-004. It is, therefore, affected multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - Apache - ATS - Certificate Trust Policy - CoreAnimation - FontParser - Graphics Driver - ImageIO - IOHIDFamily - Kernel - LaunchServices - Open Directory Client - OpenLDAP - OpenSSL - PHP - QuickLook - SceneKit - Security - Code SIgning - UniformTypeIdentifiers Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
