An issue existed in the handling of network account logins. The login process recorded sensitive information in the system log, where other users of the system could read it. A temporary file race condition issue existed in blued's initialization routine. There are known attacks on the confidentiality of SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 when a cipher suite uses a block cipher in CBC mode. curl disabled the 'empty fragment' countermeasure which prevented these attacks. This issue is addressed by enabling empty fragments. A data injection issue existed in curl's handling of URLs. This issue is addressed through improved validation of URLs. This issue does not affect systems prior to OS X Lion. Various other vulnerabilities have been addressed.
