Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mac OS X versions 10.0 through 10.0.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to learn the contents of files in web-accessible directories due to world-readable index files named .FBCIndex being created in every directory by the Find-By-Content feature in Mac OS X.

Recommendations For Mac OS X versions 10.0 through 10.0.4, consider restricting access to web-accessible directories to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, remove the .FBCIndex files from these directories until a fix is available.
