CVE-2006-4399

Summary

User interface inconsistency in Workgroup Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 appears to allow administrators to change the authentication type from crypt to ShadowHash passwords for accounts in a NetInfo parent, when such an operation is not actually supported, which could result in less secure password management than intended.
