Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.10
Description The issue concerns the "iCloud Find My Mac" feature, which does not properly enforce rate limiting of lost-mode PIN entry. This makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack involving a series of reboots.
Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.10, update to version 10.10 or later to resolve the issue.
