TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Sparse disk image handling buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Stack-based buffer overflow in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.7 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (application crash) by attempting to mount a crafted sparse disk image. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities that have been addressed in Security Update 2009-002. The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues. The following individual records have been created to better document the new issues: 34932 Apple Mac OS X Launch Services Denial of Service Vulnerability 34937 Apple Mac OS X QuickDraw PICT Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability 34938 Apple Mac OS X PICT Image Handling Integer Overflow Vulnerability 34939 Apple Mac OS X SpotLight Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities 34941 Apple Mac OS X Local 'login' Privilege Escalation Vulnerability 34942 Apple Mac OS X Disk Image Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities 34947 Apple Mac OS X Compact Font Format (CFF) Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 34948 Apple Mac OS X Telnet Stack Overflow Vulnerability 34950 Apple Mac OS X Help Viewer Cascading Style Sheets Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 34951 Apple Mac OS X CFNetwork 'Set-Cookie' Headers Information Disclosure Vulnerability 34952 Apple Mac OS X Help Viewer HTML Document Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 34958 Apple Mac OS X CFNetwork HTTP Header Handling Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 34959 Apple Mac OS X Kernel Workqueue Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability 34962 Apple Mac OS X CoreGraphics PDF Handling Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities 34965 Apple Mac OS X CoreGraphics PDF Handling Heap Overflow Vulnerability 34972 Apple Mac OS X Disk Image Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 34973 Apple Mac OS X iChat Disabled SSL Connection Information Disclosure Vulnerability 34974 Apple Mac OS X International Components for Unicode Invalid Byte Sequence Handling Vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user into mounting a specially crafted sparse disk image. A successful exploit will allow attacker-supplied content to run in the context of the victim mounting the image or to cause a denial of service. I. II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure, denial of service, or privilege escalation. III. These and other updates are available via Software Update or via Apple Downloads. IV.
