Description:
Apple has issued a security update for Mac OS X, which fixes multiple vulnerabilities.
1) A boundary error exists in the handling of embedded ColorSync profiles. This can be exploited by malicious people to cause a stack based buffer overflow by enticing a user to open a specially crafted image.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) An error in Crash Reporter can be exploited by a process with admin privileges to write to arbitrary files with root privileges.
3) An unspecified error in CUPS can be exploited to prevent other requests from being served via a partially negotiated SSL connection.
4) An unspecified error in diskimages-helper can be exploited by malicious people to cause a memory corruption via a specially crafted disk image and may allow execution of arbitrary code.
5) An integer overflow in the handler for AppleSingleEncoding disk images can potentially be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user to mount a specially crafted disk image.
6) Various errors exist in the processing of disk images, which can be exploited to gain escalated privileges, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or to compromise a user's system.

SA23725
7) An unspecified error in DS Plug-Ins can be exploited by malicious users to change the local root password.
8) An error in Flash Player can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain restrictions.
For more information:
SA22467
9) Multiple errors in GNU Tar can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS, overwrite arbitrary files, or to compromise a vulnerable system.

SA23115
10) An error in the handling of HFS+ file systems can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS.
For more information:
SA23742
11) An error in the IOKit HID interface can be exploited by malicious, local users to capture console keystrokes from other users.
12) An integer overflow error in the handling of GIF files in ImageIO can potentially be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code by tricking a users to open a specially crafted GIF file.
NOTE: Systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4 are not affected.
13) An error in the handling of RAW images can be exploited by malicious people to cause a memory corruption and may allow execution of arbitrary code by tricking a user to open a specially crafted RAW image.
NOTE: Systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4 are not affected.
14) An error in the kernel can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS.
For more information:
SA22808
15) An error in the kernel can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS or potentially gain escalated privileges.
For more information:
SA23088
16) An error in the kernel can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
For more information:
SA23120
17) Some vulnerabilities in MySQL can be exploited by malicious users to disclose potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS, and compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks
For more information:
SA19929
SA20365
SA21259
SA21506
18) Errors in the AppleTalk protocol handler can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS or potentially gain escalated privileges.
For more information:
SA23134
SA23708
19) An error in the handling of SSH key generation in OpenSSH can be exploited by malicious people to destroy established trust between SSH hosts. Systems that have already enabled SSH and rebooted at least once are not vulnerable to this issue.
20) Errors in OpenSSH can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
For more information:
SA18579
SA22091
SA22173
21) An error in the print system can be exploited by malicious, local users to overwrite arbitrary files with system privileges.
22) An error in Apple QuickDraw can be exploited by malicious people to cause a heap based buffer overflow and may allow execution of arbitrary code via a specially crafted PICT file.
23) An error in Apple QuickDraw can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS.
For more information:
SA23859
24) An error in servermgrd can be exploited by malicious people to access Server Manager without valid credentials
25) A boundary error in SMB File Server can be exploited by malicious users to cause stack based buffer overflow, which results in a DoS or potentially in arbitrary code execution.
26) A format string error in Software Update can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user to open a specially crafted Software Update Catalog.
27) An error in sudo can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
For more information:
SA17318
28) An error in WebLog can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
