CVE-2013-5165

TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Application firewall socketfilterfw Vulnerable to access restrictions

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2013-004844

DESCRIPTION

socketfilterfw in Application Firewall in Apple Mac OS X before 10.9 does not properly implement the --blockApp option, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a network connection to an application for which blocking was configured. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass intended security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282 (Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013- 10-22-3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. The vulnerability stems from the --blockApp option of the socketfilterfw command-line tool not properly preventing applications from receiving network connections
