CVE-2008-4368: Apple Mac OS X

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products
