Description |
Mac OS X contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized password exposure. The issue is due to the way the Keychain Access utility handles automatic password display timeouts. When a keychain automatically locks due to a timeout while viewing a stored password, the password will remain visible afterwords. It is possible to gain access to plaintext passwords when viewing a keychain resulting in a loss of confidentiality. |
