CVE-2007-0236

TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of _ATPsndrsp Double release vulnerability in functions

DESCRIPTION

Double free vulnerability in the _ATPsndrsp function in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted AppleTalk request that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Apple Mac OS X AppleTalk is prone to a heap-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform sufficient boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to a buffer. An attacker could leverage this issue to have arbitrary code execute with administrative privileges. A successful exploit could result in the complete compromise of the affected system. Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.8 is reported vulnerable; other versions may be vulnerable as well. This request triggers a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To improve our services to our customers, we have made a number of additions to the Secunia Advisories and have started translating the advisories to German.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the fatfile_getarch2() function. This can be exploited to cause an integer overflow and may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with kernel privileges via a specially crafted Mach-O Universal binary. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
