CVE-2008-4368
The default configuration of Java 1.5 on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 contains a jurisdiction policy that limits Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) key sizes to 128 bits, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt ciphertext produced by JCE.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
