Description

The File Sharing pane in the Sharing preference pane in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4 does not inform users that the complete contents of their own home directories are shared for their own use, which might allow attackers to leverage other vulnerabilities and access files for which sharing was unintended.
