CVE-2009-0151
The screen saver in Dock in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 does not prevent four-finger Multi-Touch gestures, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass locking and "manage applications or use Expose" via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
