TITLE

Kerberos administration daemon may free uninitialized pointers

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in Libinfo in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving crafted web pages that trigger certain error conditions that are not properly reported in certain circumstances, resulting in accessing deallocated memory. 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 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. In some cases Libinfo does not report errors to applications using it. By tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page, an attacker can cause access to previously deallocated objects, cause the application to terminate unexpectedly, or execute arbitrary instructions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.
