CVE-2008-4212

TITLE

Multiple PHP XML-RPC implementations vulnerable to code injection

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in rlogind in the rlogin component in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 applies hosts.equiv entries to root despite what is stated in documentation, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. A vulnerability in a common PHP extension module could allow a remote attacker to execute code on a vulnerable system. Attackers may be able to exploit this issue to log in as the root user via 'rlogind' without proper authentication from specific trusted hosts. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities that have been addressed in Security Update 2008-007. The security update addresses a total of 11 new vulnerabilities that affect the ColorSync, CUPS, Finder, launchd, Networking, Postfix, PSNormalizer, rlogin, Script Editor, and Weblog components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 30 previously reported issues. NOTE: This BID is being retired; the following individual records have been created to better document these issues: 31716 Apple Script Editor Unspecified Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability 31718 Apple Mac OS X Server Weblog Access Control List Security Bypass Vulnerability 31708 Apple Mac OS X 'hosts.equiv' Security Bypass Vulnerability 31721 Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Postfix Security Bypass Vulnerability 31719 Apple PSNormalizer PostScript Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 31711 Apple Mac OS X 'configd' EAPOLController Plugin Local Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 31715 Apple Mac OS X ColorSync ICC Profile Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 31720 Apple Finder Denial of Service Vulnerability 31707 Apple OS X QuickLook Excel File Integer Overflow Vulnerability 31688 CUPS 'HP-GL/2' Filter Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 31722 Apple Mac OS X 10.5 'launchd' Unspecified Security Bypass Vulnerability. The user manual for the configuration file hosts.equiv claims that items do not apply to root, but an implementation bug in rlogind causes these items to also apply to root. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?
