TITLE

Apple Safari of ColorSync Integer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Integer overflow in ColorSync in Apple Safari before 4.0.5 on Windows, and iTunes before 9.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an image with a crafted color profile that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Safari is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue was previously documented in BID 38671 (Apple Safari Prior to 4.0.5 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. These issues affect versions prior to Safari 4.0.5 running on Apple Mac OS X, Windows 7, XP and Vista. NOTE: This BID is being retired because the following individual records have been created to better document issues previously mentioned in this BID: 38674 Apple Safari Prior to 4.0.5 Integer Overflow Vulnerability 35451 LibTIFF 'LZWDecodeCompat()' Remote Buffer Underflow Vulnerability 38676 Apple Safari BMP Image Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability 38677 Apple Safari TIFF Image Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability 38673 Apple Safari ImageIO TIFF Image Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 38675 Apple Safari Prior to 4.0.5 Configuration Bypass Weakness 38683 Apple Safari URL Schemes Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 38684 WebKit CSS 'format()' Arguments Memory Corruption Vulnerability 38687 WebKit Object Element Fallback Memory Corruption Vulnerability 38688 WebKit XML Document Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability 38689 WebKit Right-to-Left Displayed Text Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability 38685 WebKit Nested HTML Tags Use-After-Free Error Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 38692 WebKit Cross-Origin Stylesheet Request Information Disclosure Vulnerability 38686 WebKit HTML Elements Callback Use-After-Free Error Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 38690 WebKit CSS Display Use-After-Free Error Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 38691 WebKit HTML Image Element Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia CSI + Microsoft SCCM ----------------------- = Extensive Patch Management http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/wsus_sccm_3rd_third_party_patching/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Apple iTunes Multiple Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA39135 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/39135/ DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple iTunes, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or compromise a user's system. For more information see vulnerabilities #1 through #4 and #9 in: SA38932 2) An error when processing MP4 files can be exploited to trigger the execution of an infinite loop and render the application unusable after its restart via e.g. a specially crafted podcast. 3) During installation iTunes for Windows installs and executes certain files in a directory in the ""%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\" path. As standard permissions allows any user to write files to the path, this can be exploited to either create malicious files with specific names before installation or malicious libraries after installation, allowing execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. SOLUTION: Update to version 9.1.

As of February 2010, Safari was the fourth most widely used browser, with 4.45% of the worldwide usage share of web browsers according to Net Application." II. VUPEN also provides in-depth binary analysis of vulnerabilities and commercial-grade exploit codes to help security vendors, governments, and corporations to evaluate and qualify risks, and protect their infrastructures and assets. iDefense Security Advisory 03.11.10 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Mar 11, 2010 I. BACKGROUND WebKit is an open source web browser engine. It is currently used by Apple Inc.'s Safari browser, as well as by Google's Chrome browser. For more information, see the vendor's site at the following link. http://webkit.org/ II. The vulnerability occurs when a certain property of an HTML element is reset via JavaScript code. When this occurs, a C++ object is incorrectly accessed after it has been freed. This results in an attacker controlled value being used as a C++ VTABLE, which leads to the execution of arbitrary code. III. ANALYSIS Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user viewing the Webpage. To exploit this vulnerability, a targeted user must load a malicious Webpage created by an attacker. An attacker typically accomplishes this via social engineering or injecting content into compromised, trusted sites. After the user visits the malicious Webpage, no further user interaction is needed. Exploitation of this vulnerability is relatively simple if a heap spray technique is used to control large portions of heap memory. It is also trivial for an attacker to reallocate the chunk of freed memory and populate it with controlled values. This allows an attacker to control a C++ VTABLE, which leads to code execution. As such, iDefense considers this vulnerability to be highly exploitable. IV. DETECTION iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Google Chrome 3.0.195.38 and Safari 4.0.4. Previous versions are suspected to be vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND The vulnerability is present in the JavaScript engine, so disabling JavaScript is an effective workaround. This can be performed via the command line with Google Chrome, and the Preferences menu in Safari. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Apple Inc. has released a patch which addresses this issue. Information about downloadable vendor updates can be found by clicking on the URLs shown. http://www.apple.com/safari/download VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2010-0040 to this issue.
