Foundation in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 creates world-writable directories while NSFileManager copies files recursively and only modifies the permissions afterward, which allows local users to modify copied files to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges.
The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.
