An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11 is affected. The issue involves the "MobileBackup" component. It allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging read access to a backup archive that was supposed to have been encrypted.
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
