Apple : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In August 2009

Apple Safari 4.0.3 does not properly block javascript: and data: URIs in Refresh headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Refresh header that contains a javascript: URI, (2) entering a javascript: URI when specifying the content of a Refresh header, (3) injecting a Refresh header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI, or (4) entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Refresh header.

neon before 0.28.6, when OpenSSL or GnuTLS is used, does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in libxml2 2.5.10, 2.6.16, 2.6.26, 2.6.27, and 2.6.32, and libxml 1.8.17, allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted (1) Notation or (2) Enumeration attribute types in an XML file, as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework.

Unspecified vulnerability in the CoreTelephony component in Apple iPhone OS before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, obtain GPS coordinates, or enable the microphone via an SMS message that triggers memory corruption, as demonstrated by Charlie Miller at SyScan '09 Singapore.

WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.3 does not properly restrict the URL scheme of the pluginspage attribute of an EMBED element, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to launch arbitrary file: URLs and obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML document.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.3, as used on iPhone OS before 3.1, iPhone OS before 3.1.1 for iPod touch, and other platforms, allows remote attackers to spoof domain names in URLs, and possibly conduct phishing attacks, via unspecified homoglyphs.

Apple GarageBand before 5.1 reconfigures Safari to accept all cookies regardless of domain name, which makes it easier for remote web servers to track users.

Unspecified vulnerability in Apple Safari 4 before 4.0.3 allows remote web servers to place an arbitrary web site in the Top Sites view, and possibly conduct phishing attacks, via unknown vectors.

Buffer overflow in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted floating-point numbers.

Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 does not properly share file descriptors over local sockets, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by placing file descriptors in messages sent to a socket that has no receiver, related to a "synchronization issue."

Buffer overflow in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted AppleTalk response packet.

MobileMe in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 does not properly delete credentials upon signout from the preference pane, which makes it easier for attackers to hijack a MobileMe session via unspecified vectors, related to a "logic issue."

Format string vulnerability in Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.8 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via format string specifiers in an application name.

launchd in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (individual service outage) by making many connections to an inetd-based launchd service.

Buffer overflow in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8, and Safari before 4.0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an image with crafted EXIF metadata.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Image RAW in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8, and 10.4 before Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Canon RAW image.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via a web page that offers a download with a Content-Type value that is not on the list of possibly unsafe content types for Safari.

Heap-based buffer overflow in ColorSync in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted image containing an embedded ColorSync profile.

CFNetwork in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 places an incorrect URL in a certificate warning in certain 302 redirection scenarios, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into visiting an arbitrary https web site by leveraging an open redirect vulnerability, a different issue than CVE-2009-2062.

The screen saver in Dock in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8 does not prevent four-finger Multi-Touch gestures, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass locking and "manage applications or use Expose" via unspecified vectors.
