CVE-2011-3462: Time Machine in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.3 does not verify the unique identifier of its remote AFP volume...

Time Machine in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.3 does not verify the unique identifier of its remote AFP volume or Time Capsule, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information contained in new backups by spoofing this storage object, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1803.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affected Apple Time Machine backups before Mac OS X 10.7.3. A remote attacker could spoof a remote AFP backup volume or Time Capsule and receive sensitive data from new backups. The main business risk is unintended disclosure of backup contents. Exposure is most relevant to Mac OS X systems before 10.7.3 using Time Machine with remote AFP volumes or Time Capsule destinations. Systems not using remote Time Machine backups are less likely to be affected. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. Prioritize if old Macs still use remote Time Machine backups, because backup data can contain broad sensitive business information. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mac OS X systems to 10.7.3 or later per Apple guidance.; Review Apple security advisory HT5130 for the vendor-fixed release details.; Avoid relying on untrusted or unexpected remote Time Machine destinations..
