Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple Mac OS X up to 10.3.9 (Operating System). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.8 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an image with a crafted ColorSync profile.

The bug was discovered 03/13/2007. The weakness was presented 03/14/2007 by Tom Ferris (Alex) with Security-Protocols (Website). The advisory is shared at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-0719 since 02/05/2007. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 24811 (Mac OS X < 10.4.9 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Security Update 2007-003)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family MacOS X Local Security Checks and running in the context c. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 115527 (Apple Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Security Update 2007-003 Not Installed (APPLE-SA-2007-03-13)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (32966), Tenable (24811), SecurityFocus (BID 22948†), OSVDB (34845†) and Secunia (SA24479†). See VDB-2060, VDB-2621, VDB-2709 and VDB-2824 for similar entries. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
