TITLE

Apple OS X Vulnerability in obtaining important information in the terminal

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2016-004981

DESCRIPTION

Terminal in Apple OS X before 10.12 uses weak permissions for the .bash_history and .bash_session files, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, gain sensitive information, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass security restrictions, and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in other attacks. These issues are fixed in: Apple macOS 10.12. Terminal is one of the terminal components. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information
