Summary
APOP password recovery vulnerability
Details
POP3 is a protocol for receiving email from mail servers. APOP is an authentication mechanism used by the POP3 protocol. It is reported that APOP passwords could be recovered by third parties. In its successful attack, the attacker spoofs itself as the mail server, provides challenge strings to the client, and collects the responses from the client. The attacker should repeat this process for a certain period of time without alerting the user of the attack.
