    Impact: A network user may be able to bypass system login restrictions

    Description: An implementation issue exists in the handling of system login restrictions for network accounts. If the network accounts allowed to log in to the system at the Login Window are identified by group membership only, the restriction will not be enforced, and all network users will be allowed to log in to the system. The issue is addressed through improved group restriction management in the Accounts preference pane. This issue only affects systems configured to use a network account server, and does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.6. Credit to Christopher D. Grieb of University of Michigan MSIS for reporting this issue.
