Title: MacOS Programmer's Window Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Under MacOS the key combination CMD-PWR (Command key + Power Key) or the programmer's switch (on models that have one) will start up the micro-debugger or an assembly debugger such as MacsBug. This behavior occurs even while the screen is locked after the user becoming idle. This allows a user to drop into the debugger and kill the screen lock process and obtain access to the desktop.
Affected Products:
- Apple Mac OS 9 9.0.0
