Stack-based buffer overflow in the Networking component in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted IOCTL request that adds an AppleTalk zone to a routing table. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit. 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 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: 2,700 advisories published 2004: 3,100 advisories published 2005: 4,600 advisories published 2006: 5,300 advisories published How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you? The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues effectively. 1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information or compromise a user's system. For more information: SA26027 2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g. automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after downloading" is enabled. 3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache. For more information: SA26152 4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). For more information: SA15447 This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions. 5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV (passive) commands. 6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate. 7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable application connects to a malicious server. 8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially crafted directory hierarchy. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. 9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into reading a specially crafted text. 10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26676 11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious, local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid binary. 12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a relative path. 14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state. 15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request. 16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any path on the system. 17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including link-local addresses. 18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with AppleTalk. 20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. 21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory allocations. 22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call via TCP or UDP. 23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when determining if a URL references the local file system. 24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening a .download file with a specially crafted name. 25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not visible. 26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog. 27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file. 29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web page. 30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript window properties of websites served from a different domain. This can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in that domain when a user visits a malicious web page. 34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA23893 35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access private keys added to the keychain by Safari. 36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports. 37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's content. 5) The vendor credits Dr Bob Lopez PhD. 6) The vendor credits Marko Karppinen, Petteri Kamppuri, and Nikita Zhuk of MK&C. 9) Will Dormann, CERT/CC 11) An anonymous person, reported via iDefense Labs. 12) The vendor credits Johan Henselmans and Jesper Skov. 13) The vendor credits RISE Security. 14) The vendor credits Ilja van Sprundel. 15) The vendor credits Tobias Klein, www.trapkit.de 16) The vendor credits James P.

BACKGROUND AppleTalk, a set of networking protocols developed by Apple, was originally implemented on early Mac operating systems. AppleTalk is compiled into the default kernel, but must be turned on in order to be used. More information can be found at the following URL. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50039 II. A zone can be thought of as something similar to a Windows Domain. When copying the user provided zone information into a fixed size stack buffer, the kernel uses a user provided length as the number of bytes to copy into the destination buffer. This results in an exploitable stack buffer overflow in the kernel. III. Unsuccessful attempts will likely crash the system. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the system needs to have AppleTalk configured in routing mode. This is not enabled by default. It would likely be enabled on a Mac system running on a network with legacy Mac hosts. IV. Previous versions may also be affected. To determine if AppleTalk is running, the following command can be executed on the command line. $ appletalk -s V. WORKAROUND Disabling AppleTalk will prevent exploitation of this vulnerability. Executing the following command will disable AppleTalk if it is enabled. # appletalk -d VI. More information is available at the following URL. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307041 VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2007-4267 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.

Unspecified vulnerability in Spotlight in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted .XLS file that triggers memory corruption in the Microsoft Office Spotlight Importer. 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. If a user is tricked into downloading a malicious .xls file, an attacker could cause the application to terminate unexpectedly or execute arbitrary commands. 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.
