CVE-2014-4435: Apple Mac OS X

Medium severity, CVSS 4.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The "iCloud Find My Mac" feature in Apple OS X before 10.10 does not properly enforce rate limiting of lost-mode PIN entry, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack involving a series of reboots.

Affected products

• Apple Mac OS X: up to and including 10.9.5
