Summary

The Limit Mail feature in the Parental Controls functionality in Mail on Apple Mac OS X does not properly enforce the correspondence whitelist, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct e-mail communication by leveraging knowledge of a child's e-mail address and a parent's e-mail address, related to parental notification of unapproved e-mail addresses.
