TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of DirectoryService Vulnerable to buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the DirectoryService Proxy in DirectoryService in Apple Mac OS X through 10.6.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The flaw exists within the DirectoryService daemon. This process listens on TCP port 625 by default on Mac OSX Server pre 10.7. Request types to the service include a sComProxyData structure having a translate field which is responsible for describing the endianness of the payload. When passing a message to SwapProxyMessage for byte-reordering, multiple user controlled fields are trusted including lengths and offsets. When processing this data with DSSwapObjectData, the process will address memory out of the bounds of the allocated region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. The following versions are affected: Mac OS X v10.6.8 Mac OS X Server v10.6.8 NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 55623 (Apple Mac OS X Security Update 2012-004 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. - -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
