CFNetwork in Safari in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 automatically sends an SSL client certificate in response to a web server's certificate request, which allows remote web sites to obtain sensitive information (Subject data) from personally identifiable certificates, and use arbitrary certificates to track user activities across domains, a related issue to CVE-2007-4879.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw let Safari on Mac OS X before 10.5.3 automatically disclose SSL client certificate subject details to requesting websites. For users with personally identifiable certificates, a remote site could learn identity-related metadata and potentially track browsing across domains. Exposure is mainly legacy Apple Mac OS X systems before 10.5.3 using Safari with SSL client certificates configured. Modern fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless unsupported systems remain in use. Treat this as a legacy privacy and identity-disclosure issue, not an emergency remote-code-execution event. Prioritize confirming no pre-10.5.3 Macs remain in business use, especially where client certificates identify employees or devices. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mac OS X/Safari systems to 10.5.3 or later.; Inventory legacy Macs that may still use Safari and client certificates.; Review vendor advisory APPLE-SA-2008-05-28 for official remediation details..
