TITLE

Help Viewer Format string vulnerability

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2007-001493

DESCRIPTION

Format string vulnerability in Help Viewer 3.0.0 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 NSBeginAlertSheet Apple AppKit function. 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. A format string vulnerability exists in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) version 1.2.2
