CVE-2015-1107

Status: ModifiedLow (1.9)—

The Lock Screen component in Apple iOS before 8.3 does not properly implement the erasure feature for incorrect passcode-authentication attempts, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access by making many passcode guesses.

CVSS
