Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of Mac OS X Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X which is older than version 10.4. Versions older than 10.4 contain a security issue in the way they handle the permissions of pseudo terminals. When an application uses a new pseudo terminal, it can not restrict its permissions to a safe mode. As a result, every created pseudo terminal has permissions 0666 set, which permits a local attacker to sniff the session of other users. Solution : Upgrade to Mac OS X See also : http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/397306 Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: 13467 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2005 Tenable Network Security
