CVE-2014-2234: Apple Mac OS X

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A certain Apple patch for OpenSSL in Apple OS X 10.9.2 and earlier uses a Trust Evaluation Agent (TEA) feature without terminating certain TLS/SSL handshakes as specified in the SSL_CTX_set_verify callback function's documentation, which allows remote attackers to bypass extra verification within a custom application via a crafted certificate chain that is acceptable to TEA but not acceptable to that application.

Affected products

• Apple Mac OS X: up to and including 10.9.2
