VAR-200505-1053 | CVE-2005-1002 | Logics Software LOG-FT Remote File Leak Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
logwebftbs2000.exe in Logics Software File Transfer (LOG-FT) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via modified (1) VAR_FT_LANG and (2) VAR_FT_TMPL parameters. Logics Software LOG-FT is the corresponding component of Siemens BS2000 mainframe PC. It is used to manage the transmission and processing of files.
There is an input verification vulnerability in LOG-FT processing user requests. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to system files.
LOG-FT's logwebftbs2000.exe program does not properly check and filter user parameters in HTTP GET requests. LOG-FT is reported prone to an arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability.
It is reported that an attacker can simply issue a specially crafted HTTP GET request to disclose sensitive files in the context of the affected Web server.
Information disclosed through this attack may expose sensitive data that may be used to carry out further attacks against a computer. It is not confirmed whether this issue may also allow an attacker to upload arbitrary files.
Example:
http://[host]/logwebcgi/logwebftbs2000.exe?VAR_FT_LANG=c:\&VAR_FT_TMPL=[file]
SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the "logwebcgi" directory. This may affect
functionality.

VAR-200505-1051 | CVE-2005-1000 | PHP-Nuke Your_Account Username Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in PHP-Nuke 7.6 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the bid parameter to the EmailStats op in banners.pgp, (2) the ratenum parameter in the TopRated and MostPopular actions in the Web_Links module, (3) the ttitle parameter in the viewlinkdetails, viewlinkeditorial, viewlinkcomments, and ratelink actions in the Web_Links module, or (4) the username parameter in the Your_Account module. It is reported that the PHP-Nuke 'Your_Account' module is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input.
This issue could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials.
This vulnerability is reported to affect PHP-Nuke version 7.6 and previous versions

VAR-200505-1057 | CVE-2005-1006 | SonicWALL SOHO Web Remote Input Validation Error Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in SonicWALL SOHO 5.1.7.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the URL or (2) the user login name, which is not filtered when the administrator views the log file. Multiple remote input validation vulnerabilities affect SonicWALL SOHO. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to including it in dynamically generated Web content.
Specifically a cross-site scripting issue and an HTML injection issue affect the vulnerable device.
An attacker may leverage these issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks, potentially leading to a compromise of the affected device.
SonicWALL Pro 230 firmware 6.5.0.3 is reported vulnerable to these issues as well. SonicWALL SOHO is a tool that provides network INTERNET security connection.

How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter
and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues
effectively.
1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information or compromise a user's system.
For more information:
SA26027
2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when
handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system
shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors
while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid
programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of
Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a
tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be
displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not
visible.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA23893
35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access
private keys added to the keychain by Safari.
36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to
send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports.
37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing
a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's
content.

VAR-200711-0333 | CVE-2007-4693 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.2 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
The SecurityAgent component in Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows attackers with physical access to bypass the authentication dialog of the screen saver and send keystrokes to a process, related to "handling of keyboard focus between secure text fields.". Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

VAR-200711-0332 | CVE-2007-4692 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The tabbed browsing feature in Apple Safari 3 before Beta Update 3.0.4 on Windows, and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10, allows remote attackers to spoof HTTP authentication for other sites and possibly conduct phishing attacks by causing an authentication sheet to be displayed for a tab that is not active, which makes it appear as if it is associated with the active tab. Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues. Apple Safari is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because of a design issue related to tabbed browsing.
Attackers may be able to access user credentials or other potentially sensitive information that would aid in phishing attacks. Users may think that the authentication form is from the current active page, which may lead to leakage of user data.

How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter
and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues
effectively.
1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information or compromise a user's system.
For more information:
SA26027
2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when
handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system
shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors
while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid
programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.

VAR-200711-0327 | CVE-2007-4687 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
The remote_cmds component in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 contains a symbolic link from the tftpboot private directory to the root directory, which allows tftpd users to escape the private directory and access arbitrary files. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter
and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues
effectively.
1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information or compromise a user's system.
For more information:
SA26027
2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when
handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system
shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors
while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid
programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of
Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a
tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be
displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not
visible.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA23893
35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access
private keys added to the keychain by Safari.
36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to
send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports.
37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing
a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's
content.

VAR-200711-0325 | CVE-2007-4685 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.2 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
The kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to gain privileges by executing setuid or setgid programs in which the stdio, stderr, or stdout file descriptors are "in an unexpected state.". Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter
and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues
effectively.
1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information or compromise a user's system.
For more information:
SA26027
2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when
handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system
shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of
Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a
tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be
displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not
visible.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA23893
35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access
private keys added to the keychain by Safari.
36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to
send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports.
37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing
a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's
content.

VAR-200711-0326 | CVE-2007-4686 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.2 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Integer signedness error in the ttioctl function in bsd/kern/tty.c in the xnu kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system shutdown) or gain privileges via a crafted TIOCSETD ioctl request. Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

825 struct proc *p)
826 {
[...]
1085 bcopy(t->c_cc, tp->t_cc, sizeof(t->c_cc));
1086 splx(s);
1087 break;
1088 }
1089 case TIOCSETD: { /* set line discipline */
1090 register int t = *(int *)data; <--- (1)
1091 dev_t device = tp->t_dev;
1092
1093 if (t >= nlinesw) <--- (2)
1094 return (ENXIO);
1095 if (t != tp->t_line) {
1096 s = spltty();
1097 (*linesw[tp->t_line].l_close)(tp, flag);
1098 error = (*linesw[t].l_open)(device, tp); <--- (3)
1099 if (error) {
1100 (void)(*linesw[tp->t_line].l_open)(device, tp);
1101 splx(s);
1102 return (error);
1103 }
1104 tp->t_line = t;
1105 splx(s);
1106 }
1107 break;
1108 }
In line 1090 the user supplied "data" of the type caddr_t (char *) gets
stored in the variable "t" of the type signed int (see (1)). Then in line
1093 the value of "t" is compared with "nlinesw". As "data" is supplied
by the user it is possible to provide a string value >= 0x80000000. If so,
"t" gets a negative value due to the type conversion error (see (1)) and
the check in line 1093 will always be passed (see (2)). In line 1098 the user
supplied value "t" is used to reference and call "l_open". This leads to full
control of the kernel execution flow.

VAR-200711-0317 | CVE-2007-4700 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Unspecified vulnerability in WebKit on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows remote attackers to use Safari as an indirect proxy and send attacker-controlled data to arbitrary TCP ports via unknown vectors. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?
The Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Solutions allows you to filter
and structure all the information you need, so you can address issues
effectively.
1) Multiple errors within the Adobe Flash Player plug-in can be
exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive
information or compromise a user's system.
For more information:
SA26027
2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when
handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system
shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors
while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid
programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of
Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a
tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be
displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not
visible.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA23893
35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access
private keys added to the keychain by Safari.
37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing
a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's
content.

VAR-200711-0318 | CVE-2007-4701 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 2.1 CVSS V3: - Severity: LOW |
WebKit on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 does not create temporary files securely when Safari is previewing a PDF file, which allows local users to read the contents of that file. Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.

shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g.
automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after
downloading" is enabled.
3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison
the DNS cache.
For more information:
SA26152
4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).
For more information:
SA15447
This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions.
5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can
be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect
to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV
(passive) commands.
6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates
within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle
(MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate.
7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can
lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable
application connects to a malicious server.
8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a
one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially
crafted directory hierarchy.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised
pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is
tricked into reading a specially crafted text.
10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious
users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA26676
11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or
thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious,
local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid
binary.
12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass
the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a
relative path.
14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors
while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid
programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state.
15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl
requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request.
16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any
path on the system.
17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a
remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including
link-local addresses.
18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with
AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system
privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an
AppleTalk socket.
20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows
execution of arbitrary code with system privileges.
21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory
allocations.
22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX
RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute
arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call
via TCP or UDP.
23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when
determining if a URL references the local file system.
24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious
people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening
a .download file with a specially crafted name.
25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of
Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a
tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be
displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not
visible.
26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass
the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a
process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog.
27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This
can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user
to visit a specially crafted web page.
28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML
forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by
enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file.
29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page
transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in
forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web
page.
30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's
history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing
a user to visit a specially crafted web page.
31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript
window properties of websites served from a different domain. This
can be exploited to get or set the window status and location of
pages served from other websites by enticing a user to visit a
specially crafted web page.
32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same
origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context
of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web
page.
33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or
access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. This can be
exploited to execute Javascript code in context of HTTPS web pages in
that domain when a user visits a malicious web page.
34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be
exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA23893
35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access
private keys added to the keychain by Safari.
36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to
send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports.

VAR-200711-0316 | CVE-2007-4699 | Apple Mac OS X CoreText uninitialized pointer vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 7.5 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
The default configuration of Safari in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 adds a private key to the keychain with permissions that allow other applications to access the key without warning the user, which might allow other applications to bypass intended access restrictions. Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities.
These issues affect Mac OS X and various applications, including AppleRAID, CFFTP, CFNetwork, CoreFoundation, CoreText, kernel, remote_cmds, networking, NFS, NSURL, SecurityAgent, WebCore, and WebKit.
Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise vulnerable computers.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 and prior versions are vulnerable to these issues.
