CVE-2017-16541: Infoleak

First published: Sat Nov 04 2017(Updated: )

Browser proxy settings can be bypassed by using the automount feature with autofs to create a mount point on the local file system. Content can be loaded from this mounted file system directly using a file: URI, bypassing configured proxy settings. Note: this issue only affects OS X in default configurations. On Linux systems, autofs must be installed for the vulnerability to occur and Windows is not affected.
