TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of ImageIO Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted JPEG2000 image. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a heap buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 48412 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.6.8 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Frost & Sullivan 2011 Report: Secunia Vulnerability Research \"Frost & Sullivan believes that Secunia continues to be a major player in the vulnerability research market due to its diversity of products that provide best-in-class coverage, quality, and usability.\" This is just one of the key factors that influenced Frost & Sullivan to select Secunia over other companies.

NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X 10.6. 2) An error within App Store may lead to a user's AppleID password being logged to a local file. 4) An error within Certificate Trust Policy when handling an Extended Validation (EV) certificate with no OCSP URL can be exploited to disclose certain sensitive information via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. 7) An integer overflow error in CoreGraphics when handling PDF files containing Type 1 fonts can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted PDF file. 8) A path validation error within xftpd can be exploited to perform a recursive directory listing and disclose the list of otherwise restricted files. 9) An error in ImageIO within the handling of TIFF files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 10) An error in ImageIO within the handling of JPEG2000 files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 11) An error within ICU (International Components for Unicode) when handling certain uppercase strings can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. 12) A NULL pointer dereference error within the kernel when handling IPV6 socket options can be exploited to cause a system reset. 13) An error within Libsystem when using the glob(3) API can be exploited to cause a high CPU consumption. 14) An error within libxslt can be exploited to disclose certain addresses from the heap. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA43832 15) An error exists within MobileMe when determining a user's email aliases. This can be exploited to disclose a user's MobileMe email aliases via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. 16) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of MySQL. For more information: SA41048 SA41716 17) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of OpenSSL. For more information: SA37291 SA38807 SA42243 SA42473 SA43227 18) A vulnerability is caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of GNU patch. For more information: SA43677 19) An unspecified error in QuickLook within the processing of Microsoft Office files can be exploited to corrupt memory, which may allow execution of arbitrary code. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Mac OS X 10.6. 20) An integer overflow error in QuickTime when handling RIFF WAV files can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 21) An error within QuickTime when processing sample tables in QuickTime movie files can be exploited to corrupt memory, which may allow execution of arbitrary code. 22) An integer overflow error in QuickTime when handling certain movie files can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 25) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of Samba. For more information: SA41354 SA43512 26) An error in servermgrd when handling XML-RPC requests can be exploited to disclose arbitrary files from the local resources. 27) A vulnerability is caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of subversion. For more information: SA43603 SOLUTION: Update to version 10.6.8 or apply Security Update 2011-004.
