Descriptions

The Security component in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not properly process cached information about app certificates, which allows attackers to bypass the Gatekeeper protection mechanism by leveraging access to a revoked Developer ID certificate for signing a crafted app.

El componente de seguridad en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no procesa correctamente la información en caché sobre los certificados de aplicaciones, lo que permite a atacantes evadir el mecanismo de protección Gatekeeper mediante el aprovechamiento del acceso a un certificado de identificación Developer revocado a la espera de firmarse una aplicación manipulada.

OS X 10.10.2 and Security Update 2015-001 are now available and address information disclosure, arbitrary code execution, cache clearing, integer overflow, and various other vulnerabilities.
