TITLE

Apple Mac OS X Finder DMG Volume Memory Corruption Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Finder 10.4.6 on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long volume name in a DMG disk image, which results in memory corruption. Apple Mac OS X Finder is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability. This issue occurs when the application fails to handle overly long DMG volume names. Due to the nature of this issue, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application, but this has not been confirmed. Failed exploit attempts result in memory corruption and a crash of the application, denying service to legitimate users. Finder 10.4.6 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 X86 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to control the user's machine. If an attacker can trick a user into loading a DMG image with a volume label name larger than 255 bytes, this vulnerability could be triggered, resulting in a denial of service or arbitrary command execution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
