CVE-2010-1820: Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4 does not properly handle errors,...

Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4 does not properly handle errors, which allows remote attackers to bypass the password requirement for shared-folder access by leveraging knowledge of a valid account name.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in Apple’s AFP file-sharing service could let a remote attacker access shared folders without the required password if they know a valid account name. The issue is documented for Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4. Business urgency depends on whether legacy Macs still expose AFP internally or externally. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4 systems running AFP Server with shared folders enabled. Internet-facing AFP would increase risk, but the sources do not identify current widespread exposure. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item with urgency if AFP is reachable from untrusted networks or protects sensitive shares. If no affected Mac OS X 10.6 systems remain, residual risk is low. Mitigation focus: Identify any Mac OS X 10.6.x through 10.6.4 systems still in service.; Review Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2010-09-20-1 and HT4361 for the official update path.; Disable AFP file sharing where it is not business-required..
