OS X 10.4 - Remote hacker automatic control

Version: 10.4.10 and prior.
Technical Details:

Numerous issues affecting OS X 10.4.x and 10.3.x, including:

bzip2 - bzgrep run on a file with a malicious name may lead to arbitrary code execution (filename handling issue)

CFNetwork - Poor handling of FTP commands passed via a URI may lead to arbitrary command execution. A second issue, affecting HTTP response splitting may lead to XSS conditions. A vulnerability in the Java interface to CoreAudio (via CFNetwork) allows for arbitrary memory freeing and arbitrary code execution.

cscope - Multiple vulnerabilities, allowing buffer overflow conditions.

gnuzip - Similar problem to that affecting bzip2

iChat - Denial of Service or arbitrary code execution as a result of buffer overflow conditions in UPnP IGD.

Kerberos - Multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution (see separate vulnerability reports).

mDNSResponder - Denial of Service or arbitrary code execution as a result of poor handling of UPnP IGD code. UPnP IGD support has been removed.

PDFKit - Maliciously named PDF files may lead to arbitrary code execution.

PHP - Multiple vulnerabilities.

Quartz Composer - Denial of service and possible arbitrary code execution due to poor handling of Quartz Composer files.

Samba - Malicious MS-RPC requests can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service.

SquirrelMail - Multiple vulnerabilities, most serious of which is XSS.

Tomcat - Multiple vulnerabilities.

WebCore - Multiple vulnerabilities, including the operation of Java applets when Java support is disabled, scripting within HTML elements, and multiple XSS opportunities.

WebKit - Poor IDN support leading to URL obfuscation and poor handling of PCRE can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Description:

Apple have released Security Update 2007-007, addressing a large number of serious vulnerabilities affecting both OS X 10.4.x and 10.3.x (Tiger and Panther, respectively). A number of the vulnerabilities also affect the iPhone and Safari 3 Betas and have been addressed via separate updates as well.

A number of the vulnerabilities could allow remote control over vulnerable systems, while others could lead to loss of functionality for legitimate users.

Mitigation:

Security Update 2007-007 should be applied at the earliest opportunity. The update can be applied either through the Software Update application, or through manually downloading it from the download link below.
