Descriptions

Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 does not clear the current password when a user makes a password-change attempt that is denied by policy, which allows opportunistic, physically proximate attackers to bypass authentication and change this user's password by later entering an acceptable new password on the same login screen.

La Ventana de Inicio de Sesión en Mac OS X versión 10.4.11 de Apple, no borra la contraseña actual cuando un usuario realiza un intento de cambio de contraseña que es negado por la política, lo que permite a los atacantes oportunistas, físicamente cercanos, omitir la autenticación y cambiar la contraseña de este usuario mediante un ingreso posterior a una nueva contraseña aceptable en la misma pantalla de inicio de sesión.
