Apple » Mac Os X Server » 10.5.5 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2008

cupsd in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by adding a large number of RSS Subscriptions, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: this issue can be triggered remotely by leveraging CVE-2008-5184.

Managed Client in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 sometimes misidentifies a system when installing per-host configuration settings, which allows context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified impact by leveraging unintended settings, as demonstrated by the screen saver lock setting.

Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted embedded font in a PDF file.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the Quarantine feature in CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an executable file with the content type indicating no application association for the file, which does not trigger a "potentially unsafe" warning message.

UDF in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed UDF volume in a crafted ISO file.

Podcast Producer in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.6 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access via unspecified vectors.

natd in network_cmds in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6, when Internet Sharing is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted TCP packet.

The strptime API in Libsystem in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted date string, related to improper memory allocation.

Integer overflow in the inet_net_pton API in Libsystem in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this may be related to the WLB-2008080064 advisory published by SecurityReason on 20080822; however, as of 20081216, there are insufficient details to be sure.

The kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and system halt) by running an application that is dynamically linked to libraries on an NFS server, related to occurrence of an exception in this application.

Multiple integer overflows in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 on Intel platforms allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted call to (1) i386_set_ldt or (2) i386_get_ldt.

Integer signedness error in BOM in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the headers in a crafted CPIO archive, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow.

Unspecified vulnerability in Script Editor in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 allows local users to cause the scripting dictionary to be written to arbitrary locations, related to an "insecure file operation" on temporary files.

Unspecified vulnerability in rlogind in the rlogin component in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 applies hosts.equiv entries to root despite what is stated in documentation, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Integer signedness error in (1) QuickLook in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.5 and (2) Office Viewer in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted Microsoft Excel file that triggers an out-of-bounds memory access, related to "handling of columns."

Buffer overflow in PSNormalizer in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) and execute arbitrary code via a PostScript file with a crafted bounding box comment.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the local IPC component in the EAPOLController plugin for configd (Networking component) in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in Finder in Mac OS X 10.5.5 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (continuous termination and restart) via a crafted Desktop file that generates an error when producing its icon, related to an "error recovery issue."

Buffer overflow in ColorSync in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application termination) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an image with a crafted ICC profile.

Java on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 does not prevent applets from accessing file:// URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs.

The Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) provider in Java on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5 uses an uninitialized variable, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted applet, related to an "error checking issue."
