CVE-2013-4616
Apple
Ios
The issue concerns the generation of default Wi-Fi passwords in Apple iOS. Specifically, the WifiPasswordController generateDefaultPassword method relies on the UITextChecker suggestWordInLanguage method for selecting Wi-Fi hotspot WPA2 PSK passphrases. This approach results in an insufficient number of possible passphrases, making it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
