Details of the fixes are available via the PHP web site (www.php.net). This framework is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack that can allow archived files to be unpacked into arbitrary locations that are writable by the current user. This update addresses the issue by properly sanitizing those paths. Credit to Stephane Kardas of CERTA for reporting this issue. This could lead to privilege elevation. This update addresses the issue by anticipating a hostile environment and by creating temporary files securely. Credit to Ilja van Sprundel of Suresec LTD, vade79, and iDefense (idefense.com) for reporting this issue. This update secures the method in which a FileVault image is created. This update addresses the issues by correctly handling the conditions that may cause crashes. Credit to OUSPG from the University of Oulu, NISCC, and CERT-FI for coordinating and reporting this issue. This update addresses the issue by correctly handling these memory requests.

Mail CVE-ID: CVE-2006-0395 Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.5, Mac OS X Server v10.4.5 Impact: Download Validation fails to warn about unsafe file types Description: In Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, when an email attachment is double-clicked in Mail, Download Validation is used to warn the user if the file type is not "safe". Certain techniques can be used to disguise the file's type so that Download Validation is bypassed. This update addresses the issue by presenting Download Validation with the entire file, providing more information for Download Validation to detect unknown or unsafe file types in attachments. perl CVE-ID: CVE-2005-4217 Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9 Impact: Perl programs may fail to drop privileges Description: When a perl program running as root attempts to switch to another user ID, the operation may fail without notification to the program. This may cause a program to continue to run with root privileges, assuming they have been dropped. This can cause security issues in third-party tools. This update addresses the issue by preventing such applications from continuing if the operation fails. Credit to Jason Self for reporting this issue. It may be possible for a malicious user with access to an rsync server to cause denial of service or code execution. This update addresses the problem by ensuring that the destination buffer is large enough to hold the extended attributes. Credit to Jan-Derk Bakker for reporting this issue. This update addresses the issue by preventing the condition causing the overflow. Credit to Suresec LTD for reporting this issue. This update addresses the issue by performing additional bounds checking. An issue involving HTTP redirection can cause the browser to access a local file, bypassing certain restrictions. This update addresses the issue by preventing cross-domain HTTP redirects. When the "Open `safe' files after downloading" option is enabled in Safari's General preferences, visiting a malicious web site may result in the automatic download and execution of such a file. A proof-of-concept has been detected on public web sites that demonstrates the automatic execution of shell scripts. Syndication CVE-ID: CVE-2006-0389 Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.5, Mac OS X Server v10.4.5 Impact: Subscriptions to malicious RSS content can lead to cross-site scripting Description: Syndication (Safari RSS) may allow JavaScript code embedded in feeds to run within the context of the RSS reader document, allowing malicious feeds to circumvent Safari's security model. This update addresses the issue by properly removing JavaScript code from feeds. The following security enhancements are also included in this update: FileVault: AES-128 encrypted FileVault disk images are now created with more restrictive operating system permissions. Credit to Eric Hall of DarkArt Consulting Services for reporting this issue. iChat: A malicious application named Leap.A that attempts to propagate using iChat has been detected. Users should use caution when opening files that are obtained from the network.
