TITLE

Apple Mac OS X of Application Firewall Vulnerability in the debug log function of Windows

DESCRIPTION

Format string vulnerability in the debug-logging feature in Application Firewall in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted name of an executable file. The update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Application Firewall, ATS, CFNetwork, CoreMedia, CoreProcesses, CoreStorage, File Systems, IOGraphics, Kernel, MediaKit, Open Directory, QuickTime, SMB File Server, User Documentation, and libsecurity. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue affects OS X versions prior to 10.7.2. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 50085 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.7.2 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. Local users can elevate privileges with the help of specially crafted names in executable files. Apple has released updates to address these vulnerabilities. I. Apple has released updates to address these vulnerabilities. II. III. This advisory describes any known issues related to the updates and the specific impacts for each vulnerability. Administrators are encouraged to note these issues and impacts and test for any potentially adverse effects before wide-scale deployment. IV.
