TITLE

Kerberos administration daemon may free uninitialized pointers

DESCRIPTION

Format string vulnerability in iMovie HD 6.0.3, and Safari in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10, allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via format string specifiers in a filename, which is not properly handled when calling the NSRunCriticalAlertPanel Apple AppKit function. A vulnerability exists in the Kerberos administration daemon that may allow a remote, unauthenticated user to free uninitialized pointers. Freeing uninitialized pointers corrupts memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute code. Apple Mac OS X of Help Viewer Applications (Help Viewer , iMovie Such ) Contains a format string vulnerability by improperly handling help files with incorrect filenames.By downloading and opening a specially crafted help file, a third party could crash the application or execute arbitrary code. Multiple products for Mac OS X are prone to multiple remote format-string vulnerabilities. The affected applications include Help Viewer, Safari, iPhoto, and iMovie. Exploiting these issues can allow attacker-supplied data to be written to arbitrary memory locations, which can facilitate the execution of arbitrary machine code with the privileges of a targeted application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application. Help Viewer 3.0.0, Safari 2.0.4, iMovie HD 6.0.3, and iPhoto 6.0.5 are reported affected; other versions may be vulnerable as well. instruction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.
