Apple Mac OS X Kernel tty Read Handling Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a local denial of service vulnerability.

Local attackers can exploit this issue to cause a denial of service condition.

Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282 (Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it.

Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.9 are vulnerable.
