TITLE

Windows for Apple Bonjour of Bonjour Namespace Provider In NULL Pointer reference vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

mDNSResponder in the Bonjour Namespace Provider in Apple Bonjour for Windows before 1.0.5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by resolving a crafted .local domain name that contains a long label. Apple Bonjour for Windows is prone to a denial-of-service issue because of a NULL-pointer dereference. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow attackers to crash the mDNSResponder system service, denying service to legitimate users. Bonjour for Windows 1.0.4 is vulnerable. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201201-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: High Title: mDNSResponder: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: January 20, 2012 Bugs: #290822 ID: 201201-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in mDNSResponder, which could lead to execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.
