Power Management in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not properly handle the interaction between locking and power assertions, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a screen that should have transitioned into the locked state.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
