CVE-2012-3740
The Passcode Lock implementation in Apple iOS before 6 does not properly manage the lock state, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an intended passcode requirement via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
