Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1031)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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.
