Keychain Access

Available for macOS X El Capitan v10.11 and v10.11.1
Impact: A malicious application may be able to masquerade as the Keychain Server.
Description: An issue existed in how Keychain Access interacted with Keychain Agent. This issue was resolved by removing legacy functionality.

Work Around: To Avoid this issue we ask clients to upgrade to 10.11.2 before doing fresh installations of WinMagic for FileVault2
