iTunes < 11.2.1 User Directory Insecure Permissions Vulnerability (Mac OS X)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 74093

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is affected by an insecure permissions vulnerability.

Description

The version of iTunes installed on the remote Mac OS X host is older than 11.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure permissions vulnerability.

An insecure permissions vulnerability exists where the '/Users' and '/Users/Shared' directories have world-writable permissions. This could allow a local attacker to manipulate the contents or gain escalated privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to iTunes 11.2.1 or later.
