CVE-2012-0656
Race condition in LoginUIFramework in Apple Mac OS X 10.7.x before 10.7.4, when the Guest account is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to login to arbitrary accounts by entering the account name and no password.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
