Apple Xcode < 4.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X) (BEAST)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 61413

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Mac OS X host has a version of Apple Xcode installed that is prior to 4.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure vulnerability, known as BEAST, exists in the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols due to a flaw in the way the initialization vector (IV) is selected when operating in cipher-block chaining (CBC) modes. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to obtain plaintext HTTP header data, by using a blockwise chosen-boundary attack (BCBA) on an HTTPS session, in conjunction with JavaScript code that uses the HTML5 WebSocket API, the Java URLConnection API, or the Silverlight WebClient API.
(CVE-2011-3389)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists that may allow a specially crafted App Store application to read entries in the keychain. (CVE-2012-3698)

Solution

Upgrade to Apple Xcode version 4.4 or later.
