IPSec in Mac OS X before 10.2.6 does not properly handle certain incoming security policies that match by port, which could allow traffic that is not explicitly allowed by the policies.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Mac OS X IPSec policy bypass. On systems before Mac OS X 10.2.6, some incoming IPSec policies matched by port may not be enforced correctly, potentially allowing traffic the administrator intended to block. Exposure is likely limited to very old Mac OS X systems before 10.2.6 that still use IPSec policy rules, especially rules depending on port matching. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete. Prioritize only if legacy Mac OS X systems remain in operational networks. For most modern environments this is a historical exposure, but any affected host could undermine network segmentation assumptions. Mitigation focus: Identify any Mac OS X systems older than 10.2.6.; Upgrade affected systems to Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later where applicable.; Review Apple guidance for the historical security update details..
