Certain 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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw let a local user on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 list filenames inside some directories that were meant to be restricted. It is an information exposure issue, not remote code execution. Business urgency is mainly for legacy, multi-user Macs that may still store sensitive names or operational clues. Exposure appears limited to Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 systems with local user access and directories configured without read permission but with group or other execute permission. Treat as low priority unless legacy multi-user Mac OS X 10.4.1 systems remain in use. The main risk is information disclosure from local access, not internet-scale compromise. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Mac OS X 10.4.1 systems.; Review APPLE-SA-2005-05-19 for vendor-directed remediation.; Upgrade or retire unsupported legacy Mac OS X systems..
