Descriptions

Spotlight in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not enforce the Mail "Load remote content in messages" configuration, which allows remote attackers to discover recipient IP addresses by including an inline image in an HTML e-mail message and logging HTTP requests for this image's URL.

Spotlight en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no fuerza la configuración de correo 'Cargar contenido remoto en mensajes', lo que permite a atacantes remotos descubrir direcciones IP recipientes mediante la inclusión de una imagen 'inline' en un mensaje de email en HTML y la registración de solicitudes HTTP para la URL de esta imagen.

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.
