CVE-2015-5878

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11

Description The issue is related to a component in Mac OS X, specifically the Notes application, which lacks protection for certain data. This can be exploited by a local attacker to gain access to sensitive information. The problem arises from the misparsing of links, allowing local users to obtain sensitive information.

Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.11, update to version 10.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Notes application until a patch is available.
