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 that is 10.11.x prior to 10.11.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - apache_mod_php - AppleRAID - AppleUSBNetworking - Bluetooth - Carbon - dyld - FontParser - HTTPProtocol - Intel Graphics Driver - IOFireWireFamily - IOGraphics - IOHIDFamily - IOUSBFamily - Kernel - libxml2 - Messages - NVIDIA Graphics Drivers - OpenSSH - OpenSSL - Python - QuickTime - Reminders - Ruby - Security - Tcl - TrueTypeScaler - Wi-Fi Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
