Open Directory in Apple Mac OS X 10.7 before 10.7.2, when an LDAPv3 server is used with RFC 2307 or custom mappings, allows remote attackers to bypass the password requirement by leveraging lack of an AuthenticationAuthority attribute for a user account.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affected Apple Mac OS X 10.7 before 10.7.2 in specific Open Directory LDAPv3 configurations. A remote attacker could potentially log in without the account password when a user account lacked an AuthenticationAuthority attribute. Business risk is highest for legacy Lion systems still tied to RFC 2307 or custom LDAP mappings. Exposure appears limited to legacy Mac OS X 10.7 systems before 10.7.2 using LDAPv3 with RFC 2307 or custom mappings. Modern systems are not named in the source bundle. Organizations should prioritize directories or servers that still support old Lion clients or archived infrastructure. Treat as high priority only if legacy Mac OS X 10.7 systems remain in service with LDAPv3 directory mappings. Otherwise, document non-exposure and close with evidence. The age of the CVE makes asset discovery more important than emergency response. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mac OS X 10.7 systems to 10.7.2 or later per Apple guidance.; Review Apple advisory HT5002 and APPLE-SA-2011-10-12-3 for vendor-specific direction.; Identify LDAPv3 RFC 2307 or custom mapping deployments supporting legacy Lion clients..
