On Feb. 21, 2014, Apple released security update for iOS that affected SSL/TLS connections. The impact is described as "An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS." And the CVSS v2 Base Score is 6.8(AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P). What's the problem with it? Here is the Apple code : static OSStatus SSLVerifySignedServerKeyExchange(SSLContext *ctx, bool isRsa, SSLBuffer signedParams, uint8_t *signature, UInt16 signatureLen) { ... if ((err = ReadyHash(&SSLHashSHA1, &hashCtx)) != 0) goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &clientRandom)) != 0) goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &serverRandom)) != 0) goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &signedParams)) != 0) goto fail; goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.final(&hashCtx, &has...
