Descriptions
Foundation in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 creates world-writable directories while NSFileManager copies files recursively and only modifies the permissions afterward, which allows local users to modify copied files to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges.
Foundation en Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 crea directorios "world-writable" mientras NSFileManager copia archivos progresivamente y modifica los permisos después, esto permite a usuarios locales modificar los archivos copiados lo que provoca una denegación de servicio y posiblemente, una elevación de privilegios.
