CVE-2008-1579

TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of Wiki Server name disclosure vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Wiki Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (user names) by reading the error message produced upon access to a nonexistent blog. A successful exploit of this issue may aid in further attacks. This issue affects Mac OS X Server 10.5 to 10.5.2. The security update addresses a total of 19 new vulnerabilities that affect the AFP Server, AppKit, Apple Pixlet Video, ATS, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics, CoreTypes, CUPS, Help Viewer, iCal, International Components for Unicode, Image Capture, ImageIO, Kernel, Mail, Single Sign-On, and Wiki Server components of Mac OS X. I. Further details are available in the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes Database. II. III. These and other updates are available via Software Update or via Apple Downloads. IV. Please send email to <cert@cert.org> with "TA08-150A Feedback VU#566875" in the subject. _________________________________________________________________ For instructions on subscribing to or unsubscribing from this mailing list, visit <http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/signup.html>. _________________________________________________________________ Produced 2008 by US-CERT, a government organization.

Thanks to all that participated. 1) An error in AFP server allows connected users or guests to access files and directories that are not within a shared directory. 2) Some vulnerabilities in Apache can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). 3) An unspecified error in AppKit can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user opens a specially crafted document file with an editor that uses AppKit (e.g. TextEdit). 4) Multiple unspecified errors exist in the processing of Pixlet video files. These can be exploited to cause memory corruption and potentially allow for execution of arbitrary code when a user opens a specially crafted movie file. 5) An unspecified error exists in Apple Type Services when processing embedded fonts in PDF files. This can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a PDF file containing a specially crafted embedded font is printed. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 6) An error in Safari's SSL client certificate handling can lead to an information disclosure of the first client certificate found in the keychain when a web server issues a client certificate request. 7) An integer overflow exists in CoreFoundation when handling CFData objects. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow if an application calls "CFDataReplaceBytes" with an invalid "length" argument. 8) An error due to an uninitialised variable in CoreGraphics can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a specially crafted PDF is opened. 9) A weakness is caused due to users not being warned before opening certain potentially unsafe content types. 10) An error when printing to password-protected printers with debug logging enabled may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. 11) Some vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or to potentially compromise a user's system. For more information: SA28083 12) An integer underflow error in Help Viewer when handling help:topic URLs can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a specially crafted help:topic URL is accessed. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 13) A conversion error exists in ICU when handling certain character encodings. This can potentially be exploited bypass content filters and may lead to cross-site scripting and disclosure of sensitive information. 14) Input passed to unspecified parameters in Image Capture's embedded web server is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to disclose the content of local files via directory traversal attacks. 15) An error in the handling of temporary files in Image Capture can be exploited by malicious, local users to manipulate files with the privilege of a user running Image Capture. 16) A boundary error in the BMP and GIF image decoding engine in ImageIO can be exploited to disclose content in memory. 17) Some vulnerabilities in ImageIO can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerabilities are caused due to the use of vulnerable libpng code. For more information: SA27093 SA27130 18) An integer overflow error in ImageIO within the processing of JPEG2000 images can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a specially crafted JPEG2000 image is viewed. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of arbitrary code. 19) An error in Mail is caused due to an uninitialised variable and can lead to disclosure of sensitive information and potentially execution of arbitrary code when mail is sent through an SMTP server over IPv6. 20) A vulnerability in Mongrel can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information. For more information: SA28323 21) The sso_util command-line tool requires that passwords be passed to it in its arguments, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose the passwords.
