VAR-200809-0191
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 20:55Remote Management and Screen Sharing in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4, when used to set a password for a VNC viewer, displays additional input characters beyond the maximum password length, which might make it easier for attackers to guess passwords that the user believed were longer. Apple Mac OS X Leopard does not accurately reflect which files and directories are available via sharing. The security update addresses a total of 17 new vulnerabilities that affect the Apple Type Services, Directory Services, Finder, ImageIO, Kernel, Login Windows, SearchKit, System Configuration, System Preferences, Time Machine, VideoConference, and Wiki Server components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 17 previously reported issues. The password field can display more than 8 characters, that is, extra characters are used in the password. Attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code, gain access to sensitive information, or cause a denial of service.
I.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure, denial of service, privilege escalation, or DNS cache poisoning.
III. These and other updates are available via Software Update or via Apple Downloads.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

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.
