TITLE

Apple Workgroup Manager fails to properly enable ShadowHash passwords

DESCRIPTION

User interface inconsistency in Workgroup Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 appears to allow administrators to change the authentication type from crypt to ShadowHash passwords for accounts in a NetInfo parent, when such an operation is not actually supported, which could result in less secure password management than intended. Apple Workgroup Manager fails to properly enable ShadowHash passwords in a NetInfo parent. Workgroup Manager may appear to use ShadowHash passwords when crypt is used. Adobe Flash Player fails to properly handle malformed strings. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issue affect Mac OS X and various applications including CFNetwork, Safari, Kernel, ImageIO, LoginWindow, System Preferences, QuickDraw Manager, and Workgroup Manager. Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.4.8 are vulnerable to these issues. There are loopholes in the implementation of Workgroup Manager. Remote administrators can change the encryption method of secret password authentication in network information, when a real password is not actually enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to work within IT-Security?
