Descriptions

The Mail Drop feature in Mail in Apple OS X before 10.11 mishandles encryption parameters for attachments, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network during transmission of an S/MIME e-mail message with a large attachment.

La funcionalidad de Mail Drop en Mail en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11 no maneja correctamente los parámetros de cifrado para los documentos adjuntos, lo que hace más fácil para atacantes remotos obtener información sensible rastreando la red durante la transmisión de un mensaje de correo electrónico S/MIME con un anexo largo.

OS X El Capitan 10.11 is now available and addresses close to 100 vulnerabilities that may exist in prior releases.
