Mac OS X v10.4.2 is now available and delivers the following security
enhancements:
Dashboard
CVE-ID: CAN-2005-1333
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4, Mac OS X Server v10.4
Impact: Users may install widgets that override Apple supplied
widgets
Description: Dashboard is distributed with Apple-supplied widgets,
and users have the ability to add new ones. It is possible for a
user to install a new widget with the same internal identifier as an
Apple-supplied widget. If this occurs, the newly-installed widget
will run in the place of the system widget. It may not be clear to
users that they are running a widget that they installed as opposed
to the Apple-supplied one. This update addresses the problem by
alerting users if they try to install widgets that would cause this
sort of conflict. This issue does not affect previous releases of
Mac OS X.
TCP/IP
CVE-ID: CAN-2005-2194
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4, Mac OS X Server v10.4
Impact: A specifically crafted TCP/IP packet can cause a denial of
service
Description: A specifically crafted TCP/IP packet can cause the
kernel to panic due to a null pointer dereference and require a
reboot. Multiple conditions are required to trigger this problem.
The common practice of filtering source-routed and loose
source-routed packets on network infrastructure, ingress routers and
firewalls can prevent systems from being affected. This issue does
not affect previous releases of Mac OS X. Credit to Julian Y. Koh
and colleagues of Northwestern University for reporting this issue.
