TITLE

Apple Safari WebKit component vulnerable to buffer overflow

Trust: 0.8

sources: CERT/CC: VU#351217

DESCRIPTION

Mail in Apple Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.1) allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AppleDouble attachment containing an apparently-safe file type and script in a resource fork, which does not warn the user that a separate program is going to be executed. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2006-0395. Apple Safari is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Mac OS X In this file system, a file consists of information called resource fork and data fork. RFC 1740 So, to handle this file structure by email MIME format (AppleSingle format, AppleDoube format ) Is defined. Apple Mail Is AppleDouble Parses resource forks when processing format attachments. This issue affects the Mail application when handling email attachments. This will compromise the application and possibly the underlying operating system. This issue affects Mac OS X 10.5. Although the issues seem similar in nature, this may not be the very same underlying vulnerability. We will update this BID as more information emerges. UPDATE (November 21, 2007): Reports indicate that this issue occurs because of an error in the application's quarantine feature. We have not confirmed this information. UPDATE (December 17, 2007): This vulnerability stems from an unspecified implementation issue in the Launch Services application. http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/16907. Apple Mail is the mail client bundled with the Apple operating system. If the user is logged on with administrative privileges, the attacker could take complete control of an affected system. Solution Since there is no known patch for this issue at this time, US-CERT is recommending a workaround. Workaround Disable "Open 'safe' files after downloading" Disable the option to "Open 'safe' files after downloading," as specified in the document "Securing Your Web Browser." Appendix A. Impacts of other vulnerabilities include bypassing security restrictions and denial of service. I. As further information becomes available, we will publish individual Vulnerability Notes. In addition, more information about VU#999708 is available in US-CERT Technical Cyber Security Alert TA06-053A. II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. III. Solution Install an update Install the update as described in Apple Security Update 2006-001. In addition, this update is available via Apple Update. Appendix A.
