VAR-200506-0052
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:27Dashboard in Apple Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by overriding the behavior of system widgets via a user widget with the same bundle identifier (CFBundleIdentifier), a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1474. This can allow a user-installed widget to override a system-installed one. Mac OS X is prone to a remote security vulnerability.

TITLE: Apple Mac OS X Two Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA16047
VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/16047/
CRITICAL: Moderately critical
IMPACT: Manipulation of data, DoS
WHERE:
From remote
OPERATING SYSTEM: Apple Macintosh OS X http://secunia.com/product/96/
DESCRIPTION: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Mac OS X, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or replace system widgets on a user's system.
1) A NULL pointer dereference error in the TCP/IP implementation can be exploited to crash the kernel via a specially crafted TCP/IP packet.
2) An error in the Dashboard can be exploited to install widgets with the same internal identifier (CFBundleIdentifier) as an Apple-supplied widgets thereby replacing it.
SOLUTION: Apply patches. Koh. 2) mithras.the.prophet
ORIGINAL ADVISORY: Apple: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301948

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
