Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple MacOS X up to 10.10.2 (Operating System). It has been classified as critical. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component Apache. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was released 04/08/2015 by Marek Kroemeke as HT204659 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at support.apple.com.
