CVE-2009-2808


TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Help Viewer vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2009-002334

DESCRIPTION

Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not use an HTTPS connection to retrieve Apple Help content from a web site, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to send a crafted help:runscript link, and thereby execute arbitrary code, via a spoofed response. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow attackers with access to the local area network access to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 36956 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-006 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it
