CVE-2012-5815: The Rackspace app 2.1.5 for iOS does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subje...

Security readout for executives and security teams

A legacy Rackspace iOS app, version 2.1.5, did not confirm that an SSL certificate belonged to the server it contacted. That could let an attacker impersonate a Rackspace SSL server and intercept sensitive app communications if they could position themselves between the user and the service. Exposure is limited to environments where Rackspace app 2.1.5 for iOS remains installed or preserved on managed devices. Modern exposure is probably uncommon, but the source bundle does not prove retirement, patch status, or current install prevalence. Treat this as a targeted cleanup and legacy-risk item, not an emergency, unless the affected app is still used for cloud administration. The business concern is credential or session exposure through impersonated SSL servers. Mitigation focus: Inventory managed iOS devices for Rackspace app 2.1.5.; Remove or replace the legacy app where found.; Check Rackspace or vendor guidance for fixed versions or retirement instructions..
