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.

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