It is reported that an attacker may exploit this issue to register and run malicious applications. DiskImageMounter is reported prone to a vulnerability where the disk:// URI handler may be used to mount an anonymous remote file system. This attack can be achieved using the HTTP protocol. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to write to the local disk.

The purpose of this update is to increase security by alerting you when opening an application for the first time via document mappings or a web address (URL). Discussion: LaunchServices is a system component that discovers and opens applications. This system component has been modified to only open applications that have previously been explicitly run on the system. Attempts to run an application that has not previously been explicitly run will result in a user alert. Further information is available in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25785 Component: DiskImageMounter CVE-ID: No CVE ID has been reserved as this is only an additional preventative measure. Component: Terminal CVE-ID: Not applicable Impact: Attempts to use a telnet:// URI with an alternate port number fail. Discussion: A modification has been made to allow the specification of an alternate port number in a telnet:// URI. This restores functionality that was removed with the recent fix for CAN-2004-0485. ================================================ Security Update 2004-06-07 may be obtained from: * Software Update pane in System Preferences * Apple's Software Downloads web site: For Mac OS X v10.3.4 "Panther" and Mac OS X Server v10.3.4 ========================================================== http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ Click on: Security Update 2004-06-07 (10.3.4) The download file is named: "SecUpd2004-06-07Pan.dmg" Its SHA-1 digest is: 182745485d8db3ea29ec67cb603cc5668a4f60d9 For Mac OS X v10.2.8 "Jaguar" and Mac OS X Server v10.2.8 ========================================================= http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ Click on: Security Update 2004-06-07 (10.2.8) The download file is named: "SecUpd2004-06-07Jag.dmg" Its SHA-1 digest is: e5fa73f6a67bdcd9af76927d3416974f039b2087 Information will also be posted to the Apple Product Security web site: http://www.apple.com/support/security/security_updates.html This message is signed with Apple's Product Security PGP key, and details are available at: http://www.apple.com/support/security/security_pgp.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.2 iQEVAwUBQMTXipyw5owIz4TQAQJabgf/XdzbpuwKuBbVYQAVUl8mZd+Bs7QVdF2x sVJiNlgjyObJjTd5sjqCP9695enrEhClliNM+qOtoUcj0ed4gKIWtOBDzPuuYSb8 xjgb0ntbOg8VOoI5FX5o8dWRAmJu7SXDbnKNvpTgPfFl0Gb2spgGsX5aINGLD8iS h5SerdpJYDEMvXyAl/7Mnfz0TYH8ThWStRiEkEeaucD6Uc1yBDhUl3uV/jjHjvcp AFbaI14R/UNEypI4z0ylpH0a5tLG4CKOTAOwt68Kcs3Undbqbp8FvIUqD2Iy6fXF EtdF329mjgcaa7iDYnt2BXPvkRvthla+98flmjD9okzhM69x2t0Ubg== =JdW9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ security-announce mailing list | security-announce@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/security-announce Do not post admin requests to the list.
