Mac OS X 0.25 Local Privilege Escalation

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Mac OS X 0.25. It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Monotone 0.25 and earlier, when a user creates a file in a directory called "mt", and when checking out that file on a case-insensitive file system such as Windows or Mac OS X, places the file into the "MT" bookkeeping directory, which could allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary Lua programs as the user running monotone.

The weakness was disclosed 03/12/2006 (Website). The advisory is shared at lists.gnu.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-1166 since 03/12/2006.
