Apple · Os X · CVE-2016-4715
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** OS X versions prior to 10.12 **Description** The issue is related to the Date & Time Pref Pane component mishandling the .GlobalPreferences file. This allows attackers to discover a user's location via a crafted app. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially created application. **Recommendations** For OS X versions prior to 10.12, update to version 10.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Date & Time Pref Pane component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
