Apple Mac OS X up to 10.3 memory corruption

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 classified as critical has been found in Apple Mac OS X up to 10.3 (Operating System). Affected is some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device Standardized Device Control Protocol) implementation in mDNSResponder on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.10 before 20070731 allows network-adjacent remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet.

The bug was discovered 07/31/2007. The weakness was disclosed 08/03/2007 by DiGiT with Secunia Research (Website). The advisory is available at labs.idefense.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2007-3744 since 07/12/2007. The exploitability is told to be easy. Access to the local network is required for this attack to succeed. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 3 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 57631 (GLSA-201201-05 : mDNSResponder: Multiple vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
