VAR-200506-0052

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:27

Dashboard 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
