Description:
LMH has reported a vulnerability in Mac OS X, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially gain escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the fatfile_getarch2() function. This can be exploited to cause an integer overflow and may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with kernel privileges via a specially crafted Mach-O Universal binary.
The vulnerability is reported in a fully patched Mac OS X (2006-11-26). Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to Mac OS X 10.4.9 or install Security Update 2007-003.
