Apple : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Bypass)

Workgroup Manager in Apple Mac OS X Server 10.2 through 10.2.6 does not disable a password for a new account before it is saved for the first time, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access via the new account before it is saved.

Unknown vulnerability in QuickTime Java in Mac OS X v10.3 and Mac OS X Server 10.3 allows attackers to gain "unauthorized access to a system."

Unknown vulnerability in the Terminal application for Mac OS X 10.3 (Client and Server) may allow "unauthorized access."

Apple Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2.8 allows local users with a USB keyboard to gain unauthorized access by holding down the CTRL and C keys when the system is booting, which crashes the init process and leaves the user in a root shell.

Cisco Trust Agent (CTA) before 2.1.104.0, when running on MacOS X, allows attackers with physical access to bypass authentication and modify System Preferences, including passwords, by invoking the Apple Menu when the Access Control Server (ACS) produces a user notification message after posture validation.

Mail in Apple iPhone 1.1.1, when using SSL, does not warn the user when the mail server changes or is not trusted, which might allow remote attackers to steal credentials and read email via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

CFNetwork in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.10 does not properly validate certificates, which allows remote attackers to spoof trusted SSL certificates via a man-in-the-middle attack.

The tabbed browsing feature in Apple Safari 3 before Beta Update 3.0.4 on Windows, and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10, allows remote attackers to spoof HTTP authentication for other sites and possibly conduct phishing attacks by causing an authentication sheet to be displayed for a tab that is not active, which makes it appear as if it is associated with the active tab.

The SecurityAgent component in Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows attackers with physical access to bypass the authentication dialog of the screen saver and send keystrokes to a process, related to "handling of keyboard focus between secure text fields."

Mail in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.1, when an SMTP account has been set up using Account Assistant, can use plaintext authentication even when MD5 Challenge-Response authentication is available, which makes it easier for remote attackers to sniff account activity.

Java in Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.11 allows remote attackers to bypass Keychain access controls and add or delete arbitrary Keychain items via a crafted Java applet.

Race condition in Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4, when a blank-password account is enabled, allows attackers to bypass password authentication and login to any account via multiple attempts to login to the blank-password account, followed by selection of an arbitrary account from the user list.

Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 does not clear the current password when a user makes a password-change attempt that is denied by policy, which allows opportunistic, physically proximate attackers to bypass authentication and change this user's password by later entering an acceptable new password on the same login screen.

Podcast Producer in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.6 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access via unspecified vectors.

servermgrd (Server Manager) in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 does not properly validate authentication credentials, which allows remote attackers to modify the system configuration.

Apple Safari before 3.2.2 uses the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a document provided in a (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response from a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script by modifying this CONNECT response, aka an "SSL tampering" attack.

Apple Safari before 3.2.2 processes a 3xx HTTP CONNECT response before a successful SSL handshake, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script, in an https site's context, by modifying this CONNECT response to specify a 302 redirect to an arbitrary https web site.

Apple Safari detects http content in https web pages only when the top-level frame uses https, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script, in an https site's context, by modifying an http page to include an https iframe that references a script file on an http site, related to "HTTP-Intended-but-HTTPS-Loadable (HPIHSL) pages."

Apple Safari does not require a cached certificate before displaying a lock icon for an https web site, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof an arbitrary https site by sending the browser a crafted (1) 4xx or (2) 5xx CONNECT response page for an https request sent through a proxy server.

The example code for the digest authentication functionality (http_authentication.rb) in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.3 defines an authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest block that returns nil instead of false when the user does not exist, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication for applications that are derived from this example by sending an invalid username without a password.

Directory Services in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 does not properly perform authorization during processing of record names, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

Server Admin in Apple Mac OS X Server before 10.6.3 does not properly enforce authentication for directory binding, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information from Open Directory via unspecified LDAP requests.

NetAuthSysAgent in Network Authorization in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 does not have the expected authorization requirements, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

libsecurity in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 does not properly perform comparisons to domain-name strings in X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate associated with a similar domain name, as demonstrated by use of a www.example.con certificate to spoof www.example.com.

Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4 does not properly handle errors, which allows remote attackers to bypass the password requirement for shared-folder access by leveraging knowledge of a valid account name.
