Two vulnerabilities have been identified in AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n), which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions and gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The first issue is caused by a design error within the default configuration that allows incoming IPv6 connections and traffic to the local network, which may expose network services on hosts connected through a vulnerable station.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the AirPort Disk feature that fails to properly validate access requests, which could be exploited by attackers on the local network to view filenames (but not their contents) on a password-protected disk without providing a password.
