Apple : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In June 2008

Open Scripting Architecture in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4, and some other 10.4 and 10.5 versions, does not properly restrict the loading of scripting addition plugins, which allows local users to gain privileges via scripting addition commands to a privileged application, as originally demonstrated by an osascript tell command to ARDAgent.

Apple Safari on Mac OS X, and before 3.1.2 on Windows, does not prompt the user before downloading an object that has an unrecognized content type, which allows remote attackers to place malware into the (1) Desktop directory on Windows or (2) Downloads directory on Mac OS X, and subsequently allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Windows by leveraging an untrusted search path vulnerability in (a) Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP or (b) the SearchPath function in Windows XP, Vista, and Server 2003 and 2008, aka a "Carpet Bomb" and a "Blended Threat Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different issue than CVE-2008-1032. NOTE: Apple considers this a vulnerability only because the Microsoft products can load application libraries from the desktop and, as of 20080619, has not covered the issue in an advisory for Mac OS X.

Unspecified vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 3.1.2, as distributed in Mac OS X before 10.5.4, and standalone for Windows and Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via vectors involving JavaScript arrays that trigger memory corruption.

Apple Safari before 3.1.2 on Windows does not properly interpret the URLACTION_SHELL_EXECUTE_HIGHRISK Internet Explorer zone setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, and force a client system to download and execute arbitrary files.

Apple QuickTime before 7.5 uses the url.dll!FileProtocolHandler handler for unrecognized URIs in qt:next attributes within SMIL text in video files, which sends these URIs to explorer.exe and thereby allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs, as originally demonstrated by crafted file: URLs.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Indeo.qtx in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via crafted Indeo video codec content in a movie file.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1581.

Unspecified vulnerability in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted AAC-encoded file that triggers memory corruption.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.5 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted packed scanlines in PixData structures in a PICT image.

CFNetwork in Safari in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 automatically sends an SSL client certificate in response to a web server's certificate request, which allows remote web sites to obtain sensitive information (Subject data) from personally identifiable certificates, and use arbitrary certificates to track user activities across domains, a related issue to CVE-2007-4879.

Wiki Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (user names) by reading the error message produced upon access to a nonexistent blog.

The sso_util program in Single Sign-On in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 places passwords on the command line, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by listing the process.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Pixlet codec in Apple Pixlet Video in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted movie file, related to "multiple memory corruption issues."

Mail in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5, when an IPv6 SMTP server is used, does not properly initialize memory, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash), or obtain sensitive information (memory contents) in opportunistic circumstances, by sending an e-mail message.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Apple Type Services (ATS) server in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted embedded font in a PDF document, related to memory corruption that occurs during printing.

Integer overflow in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted JPEG2000 image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

The BMP and GIF image decoding engine in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) via a crafted (1) BMP or (2) GIF image, which causes an out-of-bounds read.

Image Capture in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5 does not properly use temporary files, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, and display images that are being resized by this application.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the embedded web server in Image Capture in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the URI.

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and other operating systems omits some invalid character sequences during conversion of some character encodings, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Apple iCal 3.0.1 on Mac OS X allows remote CalDAV servers, and user-assisted remote attackers, to trigger memory corruption or possibly execute arbitrary code via an "ATTACH;VALUE=URI:S=osumi" line in a .ics file, which triggers a "resource liberation" bug. NOTE: CVE-2008-2007 was originally used for this issue, but this is the appropriate identifier.

Integer underflow in Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted help:topic URL that triggers a buffer overflow.

The scheduler in CUPS in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.3, when debug logging is enabled and a printer requires a password, allows attackers to obtain sensitive information (credentials) by reading the log data, related to "authentication environment variables."

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an (1) Automator, (2) Help, (3) Safari, or (4) Terminal content type for a downloadable object, which does not trigger a "potentially unsafe" warning message in (a) the Download Validation feature in Mac OS X 10.4 or (b) the Quarantine feature in Mac OS X 10.5.

CoreGraphics in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF document, related to an uninitialized variable.
