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. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Apple-specific Samba module (SMB File Server) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.8 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long ACL.

The bug was discovered 03/13/2007. The weakness was disclosed 03/14/2007 by Cameron Kay (Alex) with Security-Protocols (Website). The advisory is available at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability was named CVE-2007-0731 since 02/05/2007. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not 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)).
