CVE-2007-0725

TITLE

Kerberos administration daemon may free uninitialized pointers

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the AirPortDriver module for AirPort in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 through 10.4.9, when running on hardware with the original AirPort wireless card, allows local users to execute arbitrary code by "sending malformed control commands.". 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. A buffer overflow exists in the AirPortDriver module used to handle AirPort control commands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.
