Description:
Apple has acknowledged several vulnerabilities in Mac OS X, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

Apple reports that Mac OS X is affected by the buffer management vulnerabilities in OpenSSH. According to Apple, these can be exploited to cause the SSH service to crash.

SA9743

The OpenSSL implementation is affected by various vulnerabilities in the ASN.1 parser, which could lead to a DoS and potentially system access.

Boundary errors in the Sendmail address parsing code and ruleset parsing can be exploited to cause buffer overflows. This potentially allows execution of arbitrary code.

SA9758

An off-by-one error in the "fb_realpath()" function can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code via an application using this function. This is done by specifying a path, which resolves to a 1024 character long path length. This vulnerability was also addressed in Mac OS X 10.2.6.

For more information:
SA9535

An unspecified error in the "arplookup()" function can be exploited by malicious people on a LAN to exhaust kernel memory and cause a DoS by sending multiple spoofed ARP requests.
