Description:
McAfee has acknowledged a security issue in McAfee Encrypted USB Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security is caused due to an error related to the password "Re-use Threshold" setting, which can be exploited to conduct off-line password guessing attacks.
Successful exploitation requires that the password "Re-use Threshold" policy is set to a non-zero value.
The security issue reportedly only affects version 3.1.0.0.
