CVE-2010-1802: libsecurity in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 does not properly perform comparisons to domain-name string...

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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw could make some older Mac OS X systems trust a certificate for a lookalike domain during SSL/TLS validation. A person positioned between the user and the network could spoof a secure website if the certificate name comparison is bypassed. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 systems or embedded/managed environments still relying on those libraries. The provided CVE record does not identify other affected products. Treat this as a legacy-system risk. It is not KEV-listed in the provided data, but affected systems could lose SSL/TLS trust guarantees on hostile networks. Prioritize remediation where old Macs still handle sensitive browsing, email, administration, or business traffic. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Mac OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6.4 systems.; Review Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2010-08-24-1 and support article HT4312.; Apply the relevant Apple security update or migrate to a supported OS..
