TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Vulnerability in the collection of important information in the automatic email configuration function

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2013-004851

DESCRIPTION

The auto-configuration feature in Mail in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 selects plaintext authentication for unspecified servers that support CRAM-MD5 authentication, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network. Apple Mac OS X is prone to an insecure authentication weakness. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to obtain a user's authentication credentials as they are sent to a server in plaintext format. Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282 (Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 Multiple Security vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. Mac OS X versions prior to 10.9. The vulnerability is caused by the Mail application choosing plain text authentication instead of CRAM-MD5 authentication
