VAR-200505-1085
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:10Integer overflow in the searchfs system call in Mac OS X 10.3.9 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via crafted parameters. The issue occurs in the searchfs() code. The vulnerability exists due to an error in calculating size arguments derived from user-controlled integer values, which are then used in a user-land to kernel memory copy operation. The issue may be leveraged to corrupt kernel memory and ultimately execute arbitrary code with ring-0 privileges. The issue may also be exploited to trigger a denial of service condition from a kernel panic
