CVE-2007-0723

TITLE

Apple Mac OS X DirectoryService may allow arbitrary users to change the root password

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the authentication feature for DirectoryService (DS Plug-Ins) for Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.8 allows remote authenticated LDAP users to modify the root password and gain privileges via unknown vectors. Apple ColorSync contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Mac OS X is prone to multiple vulnerabilities including stack-based buffer-overflow issues, denial-of-service vulnerabilities, two memory-corruption issues, an integer-overflow issue, two authentication-bypass issues, an information-disclosure vulnerability, and an insecure command-execution issue. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application, cause denial-of-service conditions, compromise the application, and access or modify data. Few details regarding these issues are currently available. Separate BIDs for each issue will be created as new information becomes available. Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server versions 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.8 are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
