Discussion

Apple Mac OS X ServerAdmin Default SSL Certificate Vulnerability

It is reported that Mac OS X comes with a default private SSL certificate vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to decrypt all communications between ServerAdmin servers and clients. This facilitates the theft of authentication credentials by sniffing networks containing the affected application, and then utilizing the known private key in applications such as 'ssldump'.

Once authentication credentials are stolen, attackers can then utilize ServerAdmin for full system compromise.

Mac OS X Server 10.2.8 and 10.3.5 are reported affected by this vulnerability. Previous versions may also be affected.
