TITLE

Apple Mac OS X fails to properly handle corrupted Universal Mach-O Binaries

DESCRIPTION

The Bonjour functionality in mDNSResponder, iChat 3.1.6, and InstantMessage framework 428 in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (persistent application crash) via a crafted phsh hash attribute in a TXT key. A vulnerability in the way Apple Mac OS X handles corrupted Universal Mach-O Binaries may result in execution of arbitrary code or denial of service. According to Apple information, iChat of Bonjour In message processing NULL Pointer Dereferencing causes the application to crash.Third parties on the local network can cause the application to crash. Apple iChat is prone to multiple remote denial-of-service vulnerabilities. These issues affect the Bonjour functionality. Apple iChat 3.1.6 is reported affected; other versions may be vulnerable as well. Apple iChat is a video chat tool bundled with Apple's family of operating systems. Several denial-of-service vulnerabilities exist in iChat's Bonjour feature, which allows automatic discovery of computers. There are no restrictions on finding available contacts via mDNS queries, iChat will add the broadcasted _presence._tcp record even if the contact does not exist, so a malicious user can broadcast a fake record so that iChat users using Bonjour cannot discover more peers, unable to communicate reliably. In addition, the iChat agent may have an exception when processing a specially crafted TXT key hash, resulting in a crash when sending a SIGTRAP signal to the process. Trying to start iChat Bonjour again will fail because mDNSResponder keeps a specially crafted record. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. The vulnerability is reported in a fully patched Mac OS X (2006-11-26). SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
