A vulnerability was identified in Apple Mac OS X, which could cause a vulnerable system to connect to a malicious network. This flaw is due to an error in the AirPort Card that, when not associated with a known or trusted network, connects to a randomly generated network with a default WEP key, which can cause mobile users to automatically associate with untrusted networks without warning.
Note : This vulnerability does not affect AirPort Express Cards.
