Descriptions

CFPreferences in Apple OS X before 10.10 does not properly enforce the "require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access by leveraging an unattended workstation.

CFPreferences en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10 no fuerza correctamente la configuración 'requerir contraseña tras el comienzo del reposo o salvapantallas', lo que facilita a atacantes físicamente próximos obtener acceso a una estación de trabajo desatendida.

OS X Yosemite v10.10 is now available and addresses 802.1X, AFP file server, Apache, App Sandbox, and various other vulnerabilities.
