Descriptions

LaunchServices in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not properly handle file-type metadata, which allows attackers to bypass the Gatekeeper protection mechanism via a crafted JAR archive.

LaunchServices en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no maneja correctamente los metadatos de tipos de ficheros, lo que permite a atacantes evadir el mecanismo de protección Gatekeeper a través de un archive JAR manipulado.

A malicious Jar file can bypass all OS X Gatekeeper warnings and protections, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary unsigned code downloaded by the user. Java must be installed on the victim's machine.
