Apple » Mac Os X Server » 10.6.1 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2009

Use-after-free vulnerability in the abstract file-descriptor handling interface in the cupsdDoSelect function in scheduler/select.c in the scheduler in cupsd in CUPS 1.3.7 and 1.3.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or hang) via a client disconnection during listing of a large number of print jobs, related to improperly maintaining a reference count. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Race condition in Login Window in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.2, when at least one account has a blank password, allows attackers to bypass password authentication and obtain login access to an arbitrary account via unspecified vectors.

The kernel in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not properly handle task state segments, which allows local users to gain privileges, cause a denial of service (system crash), or obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

IOKit in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 allows local users to modify the firmware of a (1) USB or (2) Bluetooth keyboard via unspecified vectors.

Buffer overflow in FTP Server in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a CWD command specifying a pathname in a deeply nested hierarchy of directories, related to a "CWD command line tool."

Multiple buffer overflows in Christos Zoulas file before 5.03 in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.2 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Common Document Format (CDF) file. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2009-1515.

Certificate Assistant in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 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 might allow 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.

The Apache HTTP Server in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 enables the HTTP TRACE method, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via unspecified web client software.

The web interface in CUPS before 1.4.2, as used on Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 and other platforms, does not properly handle (1) HTTP headers and (2) HTML templates, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and HTTP response splitting attacks via vectors related to (a) the product's web interface, (b) the configuration of the print system, and (c) the titles of printed jobs, as demonstrated by an XSS attack that uses the kerberos parameter to the admin program, and leverages attribute injection and HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) issues.

Adaptive Firewall in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not properly handle invalid usernames in SSH login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain login access via a brute-force attack (aka dictionary attack).

Launch Services in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.2 recursively clears quarantine information upon opening a quarantined folder, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a quarantined application that does not trigger a "potentially unsafe" warning message.

Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not use an HTTPS connection to retrieve Apple Help content from a web site, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to send a crafted help:runscript link, and thereby execute arbitrary code, via a spoofed response.

The example code for the digest authentication functionality (http_authentication.rb) in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.3 defines an authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest block that returns nil instead of false when the user does not exist, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication for applications that are derived from this example by sending an invalid username without a password.

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.

Multiple integer overflows in FreeType 2.3.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to large values in certain inputs in (1) smooth/ftsmooth.c, (2) sfnt/ttcmap.c, and (3) cff/cffload.c.
