CVE-2009-2831


TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of Dictionary Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2009-002328

DESCRIPTION

Dictionary in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files with any contents, and thereby execute arbitrary code, via crafted JavaScript, related to a "design issue.". An attacker can exploit this issue to execute JavaScript code in the context of the logged-in user. Successful exploits can compromise the affected computer. 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
