VAR-200701-0577
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 19:34DiskManagementTool in the DiskManagement.framework 92.29 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 does not properly validate Bill of Materials (BOM) files, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a BOM file under /Library/Receipts/, which triggers arbitrary file permission changes upon execution of a diskutil permission repair operation. Apple DiskManagement framework is prone to local privilege-escalation vulnerability. This issue occurs when handling specially crafted Bill Of Material (BOM) files. A successful exploit would allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. A successful exploit would lead to the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue affects DiskManagement 92.29 and Mac OS X 10.4.8; prior versions may also be affected.
