Descriptions
Apple Mail.app 3.5 on Mac OS X, when "Store draft messages on the server" is enabled, stores draft copies of S/MIME email in plaintext on the email server, which allows server owners and remote man-in-the-middle attackers to read sensitive mail.
Apple Mail.app v3.5 en Mac OS X, cuando está habilitado "Guardar los borradores en el servidor", guarda los borradores del correo electrónico S/MIME en texto plano en el servidor de correo, esto permite a los propietarios del servidor y a atacantes de tipo "hombre en el medio" (man-in-the-middle) leer los borradores.
