Descriptions

Finder in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4 does not properly update permission data in the Get Info window after a lock operation that modifies Sharing & Permissions in a filesystem, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions that were not intended by an administrator.

Finder en Apple Mac OS X 10.5 a la 10.5.4 no actualiza adecuadamente los permisos en la ventana "Get Info" después de una operación "Lock" (bloqueada) que modifica los permisos de Sharing & Permissions en el sistema de ficheros, lo que permite a usuarios locales aprovechar permisos débiles que no han sido previstos por el administrador.
