Security readout for executives and security teams
This issue affects Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.4 when Exposé hot corners are enabled. A person with physical access may be able to access a locked session from sleep or screen saver mode. The source bundle does not provide remote attack details, CVSS, or public exploit evidence. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mac OS X 10.5 systems below 10.5.4 with Exposé hot corners enabled, especially shared workstations, kiosks, labs, or unmanaged devices where physical access is plausible. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene and physical-access risk. It is not an internet-scale emergency from the provided evidence, but any remaining affected Macs should be patched, retired, or physically controlled. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mac OS X 10.5 systems to 10.5.4 or later.; Review Apple advisory HT2163 and APPLE-SA-2008-06-30 for vendor guidance.; Prioritize retirement or isolation of unsupported Mac OS X 10.5 assets..
