Description: Apple has issued a security update for Mac OS X, which fixes multiple vulnerabilities. 1) A boundary error exists in Finder, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a buffer overflow by tricking a user to mount a malicious disk image. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 2) A null-pointer dereference error in iChat Bonjour can be exploited by malicious people to cause the application to crash. For more information: SA23945 NOTE: A similar issue exists in Mac OS X 10.3. 3) A format string error in the handling of AIM URLs in iChat can be exploited by malicious people to possibly execute arbitrary code. Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into accessing a specially crafted AIM URL. 4) An error in the UserNotificationCenter can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
