Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component Encryption. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-310. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1, as used in Windows Mobile 5.0, uses weak encryption (XOR obfuscation with a fixed key) when sending the user s PIN/Password over the USB connection from the host to the device, which might make it easier for attackers to decode a PIN/Password obtained by (1) sniffing or (2) spoofing the docking process.

The weakness was shared 10/15/2007 by Ollie Whitehouse with Symantec (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2007-5460 since 10/15/2007. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1600 for this issue.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (37223), SecurityFocus (BID 25976†) and OSVDB (38499†). If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
