Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-5187)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The Screen Lock implementation in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not immediately accept Keychain Status menu Lock Screen commands, and instead incorrectly relies on a certain timeout setting, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a screen that should have transitioned into the locked state.
