Mac OS X contains a flaw that may allow a malicious application to access Keychain items without first requesting that the Keychain be unlocked. The issue is triggered when the application has obtained a reference to a Keychain item prior to the keychain being locked, which may allow the application to continue to use the item. It is possible that the flaw may allow unauthorized access to login information resulting in a loss of confidentiality.
