TITLE

OpenBase SQL Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Untrusted search path vulnerability in OpenBase SQL 10.0 and earlier, as used in Apple Xcode 2.2 2.2 and earlier and possibly other products, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified PATH that references a malicious gzip program, which is executed by gnutar with certain TAR_OPTIONS environment variable settings, when gnutar is invoked by OpenBase. Apple Xcode Used in etc. The OpenBase application shipped with Apple Xcode is prone to multiple privilege-escalation issues because the application fails to handle exceptional conditions when executing setuid programs. A local attacker can exploit these issues to gain superuser privileges. A successful exploit would lead to the complete compromise of affected computers. This issue affects Apple Xcode 2.2 and earlier versions. Xcode is the development tool used on Apple machines. By using the TAR_OPTIONS environment variable, gnutar can be forced to call gzip without specifying the path, and the attacker can gain root privileges by controlling the PATH variable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: 2,700 advisories published 2004: 3,100 advisories published 2005: 4,600 advisories published 2006: 5,300 advisories published How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
