**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Mac OS X versions prior to 10.9 **Description** The issue concerns the Screen Lock implementation, which does not immediately transition into the locked state when the Lock Screen command is given through the Keychain Status menu. Instead, it relies on a certain timeout setting, allowing physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a screen that should have been locked. **Recommendations** For Mac OS X versions prior to 10.9, update to version 10.9 or later to resolve the issue.
