What is CVE-2007-1338?

The AirPort utility for Apple AirPort Extreme creates an IPv6 tunnel by default but fails to activate the 'Block incoming IPv6 connections' setting. This configuration flaw enables remote attackers to traverse security measures by establishing unwanted IPv6 sessions, potentially compromising network security where IPv4 connections would be denied. Ensuring proper configuration is critical to enhance the safety of the affected devices.
