Address Book in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.3 automatically switches to unencrypted sessions upon failure of encrypted connections, which allows remote attackers to read CardDAV data by terminating an encrypted connection and then sniffing the network.
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.
