Security Vulnerability in Apple's AirPort Base Station

Posted by pudge on Monday May 12, 2003 @10:45AM from the newsflash-wireless-is-insecure dept.

inditek writes "At Stake has issued a security warning today about a vulnerability in Apple's AirPort Base Station: 'Apple's AirPort device is a wireless access point, providing 802.11 services to network clients. Authentication credentials are obfuscated, and then sent over the network. If an AirPort is administered over the Ethernet interface or via an insecure (non WEP) wireless connection, an attacker that can sniff the network can obtain administrative access to the AirPort.'"

But, but.. the yahoo article linked from slashdot said that it was 2-3weeks afterwards. Also, there's no mention on the IMAX Si..

Ok, what the hell. There WASN'T information on their site the last time I checked. Now there is. Nothing about a release date, besides 'June 2003', which isn't the normal Matrix release day (since that's 5/15, which is a Thursday according to my calendar)
