TITLE

Apple Workgroup Manager fails to properly enable ShadowHash passwords

DESCRIPTION

The Mach kernel, as used in operating systems including (1) Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 and (2) OpenStep before 4.2, allows local users to gain privileges via a parent process that forces an exception in a setuid child and uses Mach exception ports to modify the child's thread context and task address space in a way that causes the child to call a parent-controlled function. Apple Workgroup Manager fails to properly enable ShadowHash passwords in a NetInfo parent. Workgroup Manager may appear to use ShadowHash passwords when crypt is used. A vulnerability exists in how Apple OS X handles PICT images. If successfully exploited, this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, or create a denial-of-service condition. This vulnerability may allow remote users with a valid network account to bypass LoginWindow service access controls. Adobe Flash Player fails to properly handle malformed strings. Apple Mac OS X of Mach A flaw exists in the kernel's error handling mechanism called exception ports, which allows the execution of privileged crafted programs when certain types of errors occur.By executing a program crafted by a third party, arbitrary code may be executed. These issue affect Mac OS X and various applications including CFNetwork, Safari, Kernel, ImageIO, LoginWindow, System Preferences, QuickDraw Manager, and Workgroup Manager. Impacts of other vulnerabilities include bypass of security restrictions and denial of service. I. Further details are available in the individual Vulnerability Notes for Apple Security Update 2006-006. More information on those vulnerabilities can be found in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB06-11 and the Vulnerability Notes for Adobe Security Bulletin APSB06-11. II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. For information about specific impacts, please see the Vulnerability Notes for Apple Security Update 2006-006. Potential consequences include remote execution of arbitrary code or commands, bypass of security restrictions, and denial of service. III. This and other updates are available via Apple Update or via Apple Downloads. IV.

For more information: SA19618 11) A memory management error in WebKit's handling of certain HTML can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
