TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of AppKit Vulnerable to buffer overflow

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2010-002420

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in AppKit in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a bidirectional text string with ellipsis truncation. Apple AppKit is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user; failed exploit attempts will cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects Apple Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.6.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.6 to 10.6.4. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 44778 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.6.5 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in AppKit in Apple Mac OS X versions 10.6.x prior to 10.6.5
