VAR-200112-0107

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:39

Point to Point Protocol daemon (pppd) in MacOS x 10.0 and 10.1 through 10.1.5 provides the username and password on the command line, which allows local users to obtain authentication information via the ps command. An issue has been reported in Mac OS X which could disclose the authentication information for a PPP connection. If a user has established a PPP connection, executing a ps command will not only display the information about current processes running, but will disclose the PPP username and password for Internet Connect
