VAR-200505-0225
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:10Certain system calls in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 do not properly enforce the permissions of certain directories without the POSIX read bit set, but with the execute bits set for group or other, which allows local users to list files in otherwise restricted directories. Apple Mac OS X is susceptible to a local information disclosure vulnerability. This is due to a failure of the operating system to properly implement POSIX permissions checking in certain circumstances. This vulnerability allows local attackers to retrieve normally forbidden names contained in directories. This scenario is commonly used to obscure access to public directories (such as '~/Public/Drop Box') for security reasons, as users are required to have knowledge about already existing files contained in these directories to be able to access them
