Hash: SHA1
APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 OS X Mavericks v10.9
OS X Mavericks v10.9 is now available and addresses the following:
Application Firewall
Impact: socketfilterfw --blockApp may not block applications from
receiving network connections
Description: The socketfilterfw command line tool's --blockApp
option did not properly block applications from receiving network
connections. This issue was addressed through improved handling of
the --blockApp options.
CVE-ID
CVE-2013-5165 : Alexander Frangis of PopCap Games

CFNetwork SSL
Impact: An attacker could decrypt part of a SSL connection
Description: Only the SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 versions of SSL were used.
These versions are subject to a protocol weakness when using block
ciphers. A man-in-the-middle attacker could have injected invalid
data, causing the connection to close but revealing some information
about the previous data. If the same connection was attempted
repeatedly the attacker may eventually have been able to decrypt the
data being sent, such as a password. This issue was addressed by
enabling TLS 1.2.

CVE-ID
CVE-2013-4073
Security
Impact: Support for X.509 certificates with MD5 hashes may expose
users to spoofing and information disclosure as attacks improve
Description: Certificates signed using the MD5 hash algorithm were
accepted by OS X. This algorithm has known cryptographic weaknesses.
Further research or a misconfigured certificate authority could have
allowed the creation of X.509 certificates with attacker controlled
values that would have been trusted by the system. This would have
exposed X.509 based protocols to spoofing, man in the middle attacks,
and information disclosure. This update disables support for an X.509
certificate with an MD5 hash for any use other than as a trusted root
certificate.
