CVE-2011-3213

First published: Fri Oct 14 2011(Updated: )

The File Systems component in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.2 does not properly track the specific X.509 certificate that a user manually accepted for an initial https WebDAV connection, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack WebDAV communication by presenting an arbitrary certificate for a subsequent connection.
