TITLE

CUPS USB backend Local Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in the USB backend in CUPS in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is prone to a local heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Exploiting this issue will allow local attackers to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges and completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Local users can gain privileges with the help of unknown vectors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have VARM strategy implemented?

For more information: SA34566 SA34612 4) An integer overflow error exists when processing ColorSync profiles embedded in images. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted image. 5) An integer overflow error exists in CoreGraphics when processing JBIG2 streams embedded in PDF files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted PDF file. 6) An error in CoreGraphics can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow potentially execute arbitrary code when drawing long text strings. This is related to vulnerability #1 in: SA36269 7) A NULL-pointer dereference error in CUPS can be exploited to cause a crash. 9) Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player can be exploited by malicious people to bypass security features, gain knowledge of sensitive information, or compromise a user's system. For more information: SA35948 10) Multiple errors exist in ImageIO when processing PixarFilm encoded TIFF images. These can be exploited to trigger memory corruptions and potentially execute arbitrary code via specially crafted TIFF files. 11) An error exists in Launch Services when handling files having a ".fileloc" extension. This can be exploited to potentially execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a ".fileloc" file. 12) An error exists in Launch Services when handling exported document types presented when an application is downloaded. This can be exploited to associate a safe file extension with an unsafe Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) and execute arbitrary code. 13) An error in MySQL can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions. For more information: SA30134 14) Multiple vulnerabilities in PHP have an unknown impact or can potentially be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service). For more information: SA34081 15) An error exists in Samba when handling error conditions. This can be exploited by a user without a configured home directory to access the contents of the file system by connecting to the Windows File Sharing service. 16) Input passed in search requests containing non UTF-8 encoded data to Wiki Server is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. SOLUTION: Update to Mac OS X v10.6.1 or apply Security Update 2009-005.
