Description

The Screen Lock implementation in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not immediately accept Keychain Status menu Lock Screen commands, and instead incorrectly relies on a certain timeout setting, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a screen that should have transitioned into the locked state.

Affected products

• macOS: through 10.8.5; 10.8.0, 10.8.1, 10.8.2, 10.8.3, 10.8.4, 10.8.5
