Overview
Apple Mac OS X with Bluetooth support may unintentionally allow files to be exchanged with other systems by default.
Description
Mac OS X includes support for the Bluetooth networking protocol suite. Bluetooth is a communication technology that enables short-range communication between devices. The default Bluetooth settings in OS X may allow files to be exchanged with other devices unknowingly. The default location for files that are exchanged may also be used by other applications, resulting in unintended information disclosure. |
Impact
Remote attackers may be able to exchange files with a Bluetooth-enabled system running Mac OS X, resulting in unintended information disclosure. |
