Descriptions

Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not preserve a certain administrative system-preferences setting across software updates, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging an unintended security configuration after the completion of an update.

Apple Mac OS X anterior a 10.9 no preserva ciertos ajustes de sistema administrativos a traves de las actualizaciones de software, lo que permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto sortear restricciones de acceso en circunstancias oportunistas aprovechando una configuración de seguridad involuntaria despues de una actualización.
