Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1031)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Power Management in Apple Mac OS X before 10.8.5 does not properly perform locking upon occurrences of a power assertion, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by visiting an unattended workstation on which a locking failure had prevented the startup of the screen saver.
