Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2015-6997 (CCN-107562)

Assigned:2015-10-21
Published:2015-10-21
Updated:2016-12-24
Summary:The X.509 certificate-trust implementation in Apple iOS before 9.1 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.
