CVE-2007-0747

TITLE

Apple Macintosh OS X fails to properly mount WebDAV filesystems

DESCRIPTION

load_webdav in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.4.9 does not properly clean the environment when mounting a WebDAV filesystem, which allows local users to gain privileges by setting unspecified environment variables. 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. According to Apple information, you may be granted system privileges. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AFP Client, AirPortDriver module, CoreServices, Libinfo, Login Window, Natd, SMB, System Configuration, URLMount, VideoConference framework, WebDAV, and WebFoundation. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, overwrite files, and access potentially sensitive information. Both local and remote vulnerabilities are present. Apple Mac OS X 10.4.9 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. When loading the WebDAV file system, the load_webdav program may be started without proper cleaning and mitigation, and there is a privilege escalation vulnerability. Local users can use this to create files or execute commands with system privileges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.
