CVE-2007-1338
First published: Wed Mar 07 2007(Updated: )
The default configuration of the AirPort utility in Apple AirPort Extreme creates an IPv6 tunnel but does not enable the "Block incoming IPv6 connections" setting, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by establishing IPv6 sessions that would have been rejected over IPv4.
