Description

Apple has issued a security update for Mac OS X, which fixes various vulnerabilities.

1) A signedness error in AFP Server can be exploited to crash the application via a specially crafted FPLoginExt packet.

2) An access control error in AFP Server can be exploited to gain knowledge of the contents of a Drop Box.

3) An error in Bluetooth Setup Assistant can be exploited to bypass security restrictions when using a Bluetooth input device.

4) A boundary error in the Core Foundation library when handling the CF_CHARSET_PATH environment variables can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation allows malicious, local users to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges.

5) Multiple vulnerabilities in Cyrus IMAP Server can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

For more information:
SA13274

6) Some vulnerabilities in Cyrus SASL can be exploited to crash or potentially compromise applications linked against the library.

For more information:
SA12760

7) Insecure permissions on various directories may result in race conditions and allow local privilege escalation.

8) A vulnerability in Mailman can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

For more information:
SA14211

9) A security issue in Safari can be exploited by a malicious web site to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar, SSL certificate, and status bar.

For more information:
SA14164

10) Two boundary errors in the telnet utility can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

For more information:
