Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-3483 is a local privilege escalation issue in Tunnelblick 3.3beta20 and earlier on OS X. A person who already has local access could abuse a race condition involving script handling to gain higher privileges. This is not described as a remote internet-facing flaw. Exposure is most likely limited to OS X systems running Tunnelblick 3.3beta20 or earlier. Systems without Tunnelblick, newer Tunnelblick versions, or no local untrusted users are less likely to be exposed based on the supplied sources. Prioritize remediation where legacy Tunnelblick exists on shared, developer, administrator, or high-value macOS systems. Business urgency is lower for isolated single-user systems, but local privilege escalation can turn a minor foothold into full system control. Mitigation focus: Inventory macOS systems for Tunnelblick installations and versions.; Upgrade affected Tunnelblick installations according to vendor guidance.; Remove vulnerable Tunnelblick versions where no longer required..
