| VAR-200511-0171 | CVE-2005-2752 | Apple Mac OS X Kernel Unknown Information Disclosure Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 2.1 CVSS V3: - Severity: LOW |
An unspecified kernel interface in Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier does not properly clear memory before reusing it, which could allow attackers to obtain sensitive information, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1126 and CVE-2005-1406. Apple has released Security Update 2005-10-31 to address multiple Mac OS X local vulnerabilities.
The following vulnerabilities were addressed by the security update:
- A misleading file ownership display, resulting in a false sense of security.
- A software update failure, potentially resulting in a failure to install critical security fixes.
- A group membership alteration issue, potentially resulting in unauthorized access due to a delayed changes to group membership.
- An information disclosure issue with Keychain, potentially allowing unauthorized users to view already displayed plaintext passwords after the Keychain has automatically locked due to a timeout.
- Multiple information disclosure issues in the kernel, potentially allowing local users to gain access to sensitive information, aiding them in further attacks.
These vulnerabilities will be separated into individual BIDs upon further analysis of the issues. This update addresses the issue by synchronizing the
displayed ownership with the actual ownership in all situations.
This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4. If all applicable updates have been marked
in this way, Software Update will exit without providing an an
opportunity to reset the status of these updates so that they may
be installed. This update addresses the issue by asking whether the
ignored updates list should be reset when this situation is
encountered. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X
v10.4. This may
result in an authenticated user being able to access files or other
resources even after they have been removed from a group. This issue does not affect systems
prior to Mac OS X v10.4.
Keychain
CVE-ID: CVE-2005-2739
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.2, Mac OS X Server v10.4.2
Impact: Keychain Access will continue displaying plaintext
passwords after lock timeout
Description: Keychain Access is a utility distributed with Mac OS X
that is used to view keychain items and change keychain settings.
If a keychain automatically locks due to a timeout while viewing a
password stored inside it, that password will remain visible. This
update patches Keychain Access so that passwords are hidden when
keychains lock. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS
X v10.4. Credit to Eric Hall of DarkArt Consulting Services for
reporting this issue. These
issues affect Mac OS X v10.4.2 and earlier. Credit to Ilja van
Sprundel and Neil Archibald of Suresec LTD, and Colin Percival of
the FreeBSD team for reporting these issues. This is caused due to the password
display not being hidden after timeout.
An issue in the Software Update and another in the displaying of file
and group permissions in the Finder Get Info Window have also been
fixed.

Hash: SHA1
I have published advisories for 4 security vulnerabilities in Mac OS
X that were addressed by Apple Security Update 2005-005, released
today. <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301528>.
This email contains brief summaries of the problems. Full details can
be found on my web site <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/>.
Description: help: URI handler execution of JavaScripts with known
paths vulnerability
My name: DR004 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/004/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1337 [yes, cool, isn't it ;-)]
Summary: The Help Viewer application allows JavaScript and is thus
vulnerable to having scripts with arbitrary paths run with the
privileges granted to file: protocol URIs. The files can be started
with a URI on the form of help:///path/to/file.html. Combined with
XMLHttpRequest's ability to disclose arbitrary files, this security
bug becomes critcal.
Description: Invisible characters in applescript: URL protocol
messaging vulnerability
My name: DR010 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/010/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1331
Summary: URL Protocol Messaging is a technique used by Script Editor
to facilitate sharing of AppleScripts between users. By clicking a
link (for example in a web forum), a user can create a new Script
Editor document automatically, with text from the query string of the
URI. This avoids problems with copying text from the web or manually
typing code snippets. However, the technique can be used to trick
users into running dangerous code (with embedded control characters),
since insufficient input validation is performed.
Description: Apple Terminal insufficient input sanitation of x-man-
path: URIs vulnerability
My name: DR011 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/011/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1342
Summary: Apple Terminal fails to properly sanitize the contents of x-
man-path: URIs passed to it. This can lead to execution of arbitrary
commands, aided by some of the escape sequences that Terminal supports.
Description: Mac OS X terminal emulators allow reading and writing of
window title through escape sequences
My name: DR012 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/012/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1341
Summary: Apple Terminal (often referred to as Terminal.app) and xterm
which both ship with current versions of Mac OS X are vulnerable to a
well-known type of attack when displaying untrusted content. Using
escape sequences and social engineering attacks it is in some cases
possible to trick the user into performing arbitrary commands.
I would like to acknowledge the willingness of Apple's Product
Security team to cooperate with me in resolving these issues. CERT's
assistance has also been helpful.

| VAR-200505-0350 | CVE-2005-1331 | Apple Mac OS X AppleScript Editor code confusing vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.1 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The AppleScript Editor in Mac OS X 10.3.9 does not properly display script code for an applescript: URI, which can result in code that is different than the actual code that would be run, which could allow remote attackers to trick users into executing malicious code via certain URI characters such as NULL, control characters, and homographs. Mac OS X AppleScript editor is prone to a code obfuscation vulnerability.
This issue was initially reported in BID 13480 (Apple Mac OS X Multiple Vulnerabilities). Due to the availability of more information, this issue is being assigned a new BID. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have published advisories for 4 security vulnerabilities in Mac OS
X that were addressed by Apple Security Update 2005-005, released
today. <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301528>.
This email contains brief summaries of the problems. Full details can
be found on my web site <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/>.
Description: help: URI handler execution of JavaScripts with known
paths vulnerability
My name: DR004 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/004/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1337 [yes, cool, isn't it ;-)]
Summary: The Help Viewer application allows JavaScript and is thus
vulnerable to having scripts with arbitrary paths run with the
privileges granted to file: protocol URIs. The files can be started
with a URI on the form of help:///path/to/file.html. Combined with
XMLHttpRequest's ability to disclose arbitrary files, this security
bug becomes critcal.
Description: Invisible characters in applescript: URL protocol
messaging vulnerability
My name: DR010 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/010/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1331
Summary: URL Protocol Messaging is a technique used by Script Editor
to facilitate sharing of AppleScripts between users. By clicking a
link (for example in a web forum), a user can create a new Script
Editor document automatically, with text from the query string of the
URI. This avoids problems with copying text from the web or manually
typing code snippets. However, the technique can be used to trick
users into running dangerous code (with embedded control characters),
since insufficient input validation is performed.
Description: Apple Terminal insufficient input sanitation of x-man-
path: URIs vulnerability
My name: DR011 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/011/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1342
Summary: Apple Terminal fails to properly sanitize the contents of x-
man-path: URIs passed to it. This can lead to execution of arbitrary
commands, aided by some of the escape sequences that Terminal supports.
Description: Mac OS X terminal emulators allow reading and writing of
window title through escape sequences
My name: DR012 <http://remahl.se/david/vuln/012/>
CVE: CAN-2005-1341
Summary: Apple Terminal (often referred to as Terminal.app) and xterm
which both ship with current versions of Mac OS X are vulnerable to a
well-known type of attack when displaying untrusted content. Using
escape sequences and social engineering attacks it is in some cases
possible to trick the user into performing arbitrary commands.
I would like to acknowledge the willingness of Apple's Product
Security team to cooperate with me in resolving these issues. CERT's
assistance has also been helpful. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
