Open Directory in Apple Mac OS X 10.6 before 10.6.4 creates an unencrypted connection upon certain SSL failures, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary network account servers, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via unspecified vectors.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
