CVE

CVE-2006-0397


TITLE

Apple Safari automatically executes arbitrary shell commands or code

Trust: 0.8

sources: CERT/CC: VU#999708

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Safari, LaunchServices, and/or CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.5 allows attackers to trick a user into opening an application that appears to be a safe file type. NOTE: due to the lack of specific information in the vendor advisory, it is not clear how CVE-2006-0397, CVE-2006-0398, and CVE-2006-0399 are different. Apple Safari fails to properly determine file safety, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code. Commands would be executed in the context of the user opening the archive file. Attackers can reportedly use Safari and Apple Mail as exploitation vectors for this vulnerability. Mac OS X 10.4.5 is reported to be vulnerable. Earlier versions may also be affected. There is an issue in Safari's handling of automatic opening of downloaded files. Due to this default configuration and inconsistencies in Safari and OS X's security files, Safari may execute arbitrary shell commands if a specially crafted page is viewed. TITLE: Mac OS X "__MACOSX" ZIP Archive Shell Script Execution SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA18963 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/18963/ CRITICAL: Extremely critical IMPACT: System access WHERE: >From remote OPERATING SYSTEM: Apple Macintosh OS X http://secunia.com/product/96/ DESCRIPTION: Michael Lehn has discovered a vulnerability in Mac OS X, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of file association meta data (stored in the "__MACOSX" folder) in ZIP archives. This can be exploited to trick users into executing a malicious shell script renamed to a safe file extension stored in a ZIP archive. This can also be exploited automatically via the Safari browser when visiting a malicious web site. Secunia has constructed a test, which can be used to check if your system is affected by this issue: http://secunia.com/mac_os_x_command_execution_vulnerability_test/ The vulnerability has been confirmed on a fully patched system with Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) and Mac OS X 10.4.5. SOLUTION: The vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the "Open safe files after downloading" option in Safari. Do not open files in ZIP archives originating from untrusted sources.
