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.

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.
