Last modified

CVE-2015-5894 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The X.509 certificate-trust implementation in Apple OS X before 10.11 does not recognize that the kSecRevocationRequirePositiveResponse flag implies a revocation-checking requirement, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof endpoints by leveraging access to a revoked certificate.. EPSS estimates a 0.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
