VAR-201601-0069

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 11:45

Directory Utility in Apple OS X before 10.11.1 mishandles authentication for new sessions, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. Local attackers may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with root privileges
