Mail in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.1, when an SMTP account has been set up using Account Assistant, can use plaintext authentication even when MD5 Challenge-Response authentication is available, which makes it easier for remote attackers to sniff account activity. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including Address Book, CFNetwork, ColorSync, CoreFoundation, CUPS, Desktop Services, iChat, IO Storage Family, Launch Services, Mail, Quick Look, Safari, Safari RSS, SMB, Software Update, Spin Tracer, Spotlight, tcpdump, and XQuery. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers. Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. I. Further details are available in the related vulnerability notes. These products include: * Adobe Flash * Adobe Shockwave * GNU Tar II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure, surreptitious video conference initiation, and denial of service. III. This and other updates are available via Software Update or via Apple Downloads. IV.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 4) A race condition exists in the "CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource" API, which can lead to files being created with insecure permissions. 5) A boundary error exists in the printer driver for CUPS. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and allows an admin user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by passing a specially crafted URI to the CUPS service. 6) A boundary error in CUPS can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27233 7) An integer underflow error in the CUPS backend in the handling of SNMP responses can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted SNMP response. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that SNMP is enabled. 8) A boundary error in Desktop Services can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow when a user opens a directory containing a specially crafted .DS_Store file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 9) An input validation error in tar can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA26573 10) An unspecified error in iChat can be exploited by malicious people on the local network to initiate a video connection without the user's approval. 11) An unspecified error exists within IO Storage Family when handling GUID partition maps within a disk image. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is enticed to open a specially crafted disk image. 12) Launch Services does not handle HTML files as potentially unsafe content. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting attacks by enticing a user to open a specially crafted HTML file. 13) A vulnerability in Mail in the handling of unsafe file types can be exploited to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA27785 14) An error in Mail can cause the application to default to SMTP plaintext authentication if the server supports only MD5 Challenge-Response authentication and plaintext authentication. 15) Some vulnerabilities in perl can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27546 16) A security issue in python can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26837 17) Plug-ins in Quick Look are not restricted from making network requests. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information when previewing an HTML file. 18) URLs contained in movie files may be accessed when creating an icon for a movie file or previewing a movie file using QuickLook. 19) Some security issues in ruby can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks. For more information: SA26985 20) Some vulnerabilities and a security issue in Ruby on Rails can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to conduct session fixation attacks. For more information: SA25699 SA27781 21) An error in Safari allows a page to navigate the subframes of any other page. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and to disclose sensitive information when a user visits a specially crafted web page. 22) An unspecified error in Safari in the handling of RSS feeds can be exploited to cause a memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user accesses a specially crafted URL. 23) Some boundary errors in Samba can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA27450 24) Some boundary errors in the Shockwave Plug-in can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA19218 25) A boundary error in the processing of command line arguments to "mount_smbfs" and "smbutil" can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 26) The distribution definition file used in Software Update is received by using HTTP without any authentication and allows execution of arbitrary commands. Successful exploitation requires a MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack. 27) An error due to an insecure file operation exists in the handling of output files in SpinTracer. This may allow a malicious, local user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 28) An unspecified error exists in the Microsoft Office Spotlight Importer, which can be exploited to cause a memory corruption when a user downloads a specially crafted .xls file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 29) Some vulnerabilities in tcpdump can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS or to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA24318 SA26135 30) Some vulnerabilities exist the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library used by XQuery, which can potentially be exploited to compromise a vulnerable system.

An "integer arithmetic" error in Apple QuickTime 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted movie file containing a movie atom with a large size value, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow. Apple QuickTime is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow issue because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a specially crafted movie file. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects Apple QuickTime running on Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and Mac OS X. The issue also affects Apple TV 1.0 up to and including 2.1. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of a malformed movie atom. Specifying a large size will result in a stack overflow. -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. 1) An error in the processing of movie atoms can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. For more information see vulnerability #8 in: SA27523 2) An error in the processing of STSZ atoms can be exploited to corrupt memory.
