Description:
A vulnerability and a security issue have been reported in Xcode tools, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to compromise a user's system.

1) A boundary error in the handling of .funhouse files in CoreImage Examples can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a user is tricked into opening a specially crafted .funhouse file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) An error in WebObjects exists within the handling of session IDs where the session ID is always appended to the URL generated by WOHyperlink. This may lead to the disclosure of session IDs when generating URLs to other web sites.

The vulnerability and security issue is reported in versions prior to 3.1.

Solution:
Update to version 3.1.

Provided and/or discovered by:
1) Kevin Finisterre, Netragard
