TITLE

Apple MacOS AFP Denial of service vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

AFP Server on Mac OS X 10.3.x to 10.3.5, when a guest has mounted an AFP volume, allows the guest to "terminate authenticated user mounts" via modified SessionDestroy packets. Multiple security vulnerabilities are reported in Mac OS X. A security update is available to address these issues and to provide other enhancements. The following issues are reported: Apple AFP server is reported prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. A weak permissions vulnerability is reported to affect the AFP server. This may result in a false sense of security for an administrator. A vulnerability is reported to exist in the NetInfoManager utility. It is reported that the utility will, under certain circumstances, report the status of certain accounts as disabled when they are not. A heap-based buffer overrun is reported to exist in the QuickTime utility. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary instructions in the context of the user that is running the vulnerable software. Finally, ServerAdmin is reported prone to a weak default configuration vulnerability. This may result in ServerAdmin traffic being intercepted and decrypted by a remote attacker. This vulnerability has been split into BID 11344. Some of these issues may already be described in previous BIDs. This BID will be split up into unique BIDs when further analysis of this update is complete
