Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple Mac OS X up to 10.3.4 (Operating System). It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the component TCP/IP Networking. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

The TCP/IP Networking component in Mac OS X before 10.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and resource consumption) via a "Rose Attack" that involves sending a subset of small IP fragments that do not form a complete, larger packet.

The weakness was shared 11/23/2004 with Apple (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at digital.net. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2004-0744. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
