APPLE-SA-2008-06-30 Security Update 2008-004 and Mac OS X v10.5.4
Security Update 2008-004 and Mac OS X v10.5.4 are now available and
address the following issues:
Alias Manager
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2308
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11
Impact: Resolving an alias containing maliciously crafted volume
mount information may lead to an unexpected application termination
or arbitrary code execution
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in the handling of AFP
volume mount information in an alias data structure. Resolving an
alias containing maliciously crafted volume mount information may
lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code
execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional
validation of alias data structures. This issue only affects Intel-
based systems running Mac OS X 10.5.1 or earlier.
CoreTypes
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2309
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: Users are not warned before opening certain potentially
unsafe content types
Description: This update adds .xht and .xhtm files to the system's
list of content types that will be flagged as potentially unsafe
under certain circumstances, such as when they are downloaded from a
web page. While these content types are not automatically launched,
if manually opened they could lead to the execution of a malicious
payload. This update improves the system's ability to notify users
before handling .xht and .xhtm files. On Mac OS X v10.4 this
functionality is provided by the Download Validation feature. On Mac
OS X v10.5 this functionality is provided by the Quarantine feature.

c++filt
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2310
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3,
Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: Passing a maliciously crafted string to c++filt may lead to
an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A format string issue exists in c++filt, which is a
debugging tool used to demangle C++ and Java symbols. Passing a
maliciously crafted string to c++filt may lead to an unexpected
application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update
addresses the issue through improved handling of format strings. This
issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X 10.5.
Dock
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2314
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3,
Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: A person with physical access may be able to bypass the
screen lock
Description: When the system is set to require a password to wake
from sleep or screen saver, and hot corners are set for Expose, a
person with physical access may be able to access the system without
entering a password. This update addresses the issue by disabling hot
corners when the screen lock is active. This issue does not affect
systems prior to Mac OS X 10.5. Credit to Andrew Cassell of Marine
Spill Response Corporation for reporting this issue.
Launch Services
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2311
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to arbitrary
code execution
Description: A race condition exists in the download validation of
symbolic links, when the target of the link changes during the narrow
time window of validation. If the "Open 'safe' files"
preference is enabled in Safari, visiting a maliciously crafted
website may cause a file to be opened on the user's system, resulting
in arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by
performing additional validation of downloaded files. This issue does
not affect systems running Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Net-SNMP
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-0960
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: A remote attacker may be able to spoof an authenticated
SNMPv3 packet
Description: An issue exists in Net-SNMP's SNMPv3 authentication,
which may allow maliciously crafted packets to bypass the
authentication check. This update addresses the issue by performing
additional validation of SNMPv3 packets. Additional information is
available via http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/878044
Ruby
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2662, CVE-2008-2663, CVE-2008-2664, CVE-2008-2725,
CVE-2008-2726
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: Running a Ruby script that uses untrusted input to access
strings or arrays may lead to an unexpected application termination
or arbitrary code execution
Description: Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Ruby's
handling of strings and arrays, the most serious of which may lead to
arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by
performing additional validation of strings and arrays.
Ruby
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1145
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: If WEBRick is running, a remote attacker may be able to
access files protected by WEBrick's :NondisclosureName option
Description: The :NondisclosureName option in the Ruby WEBrick
toolkit is used to restrict access to files. Requesting a file name
which uses unexpected capitalization may bypass the
:NondisclosureName restriction. This update addresses the issue by
additional validation of file names. Additional information is
available via http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/03/03/webrick-
file-access-vulnerability/ The directory traversal issue described in
the advisory does not affect Mac OS X.
SMB File Server
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1105
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3, Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: A remote attacker may be able to cause an unexpected
application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A heap buffer overflow exists in the handling of SMB
packets. Sending malicious SMB packets to a SMB server, or connecting
to a malicious SMB server, may lead to an unexpected application
termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the
issue through improved bounds checking on the length of received SMB
packets. Credit to Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research for reporting
this issue.
System Configuration
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2313
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11
Impact: A local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of new users
Description: A local user may be able to populate the User Template
directory with files that will become part of the home directory when
a new user is created. This could allow arbitrary code execution with
the privileges of the new user. This update addresses the issue by
applying more restrictive permissions on the User Template directory.
This issue does not affect systems running Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

CVE-ID: CVE-2005-3164, CVE-2007-1355, CVE-2007-2449, CVE-2007-2450,
CVE-2007-3382, CVE-2007-3383, CVE-2007-5333, CVE-2007-3385,
CVE-2007-5461
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11
Impact: Multiple vulnerabilities in Tomcat 4.1.36
Description: Tomcat version 4.x is bundled on Mac OS X v10.4.11
systems. Tomcat on Mac OS X v10.4.11 is updated to version 4.1.37 to
address several vulnerabilities, the most serious of which may lead
to a cross-site scripting attack. Further information is available
via the Tomcat site at http://tomcat.apache.org/ Tomcat version 6.x
is bundled with Mac OS X v10.5 systems.
VPN
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-6276
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3,
Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: Remote attackers may be able to cause an unexpected
application termination
Description: A divide by zero issue exists in the virtual private
network daemon's handling of load balancing information. Processing a
maliciously crafted UDP packet may lead to an unexpected application
termination. This issue does not lead to arbitrary code execution.
This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation
of load balancing information. This issue does not affect systems
prior to Mac OS X 10.5.
WebKit
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2307
Available for: Mac OS X v10.5 through v10.5.3,
Mac OS X Server v10.5 through v10.5.3
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an
unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit's handling
of JavaScript arrays. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead
to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.
This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking.
Along with this fix, the version of Safari for Mac OS X v10.5.4 is
updated to 3.1.2. For Mac OS X v10.4.11 and Windows XP / Vista, this
issue is addressed in Safari v3.1.2 for those systems. Credit to
