Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2011-3214 is a lock-screen bypass issue in Apple Mac OS X through 10.6.8 when display sleep is used with an Apple Cinema Display. A person with physical access may bypass the password requirement. This is mainly a risk for legacy Macs and shared or unattended workstations. Exposure is likely limited to Apple Mac OS X systems through 10.6.8 using Apple Cinema Display display-sleep workflows. Modern macOS versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy endpoint and physical-security issue. It is not presented as internet-exploitable, but it can undermine screen-lock trust on affected unattended Macs. Mitigation focus: Review Apple advisory APPLE-SA-2011-10-12-3 and HT5002 for vendor-provided updates.; Update or retire Mac OS X systems through 10.6.8 where feasible.; Avoid leaving affected systems unattended while locked and connected to Apple Cinema Displays..
