Xsan Filesystem 1.4 is now available. Along with functionality
improvements (see release notes), it also fixes the following
security issue:
CVE-ID: CVE-2006-3506
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.7, Mac OS X Server v10.4.7
Impact: Malicious users may be able to cause systems using Xsan
to crash or execute arbitrary code
Description: A buffer overflow may occur in the Xsan Filesystem
driver when processing a path name. A malicious user with write
access to an Xsan volume may be able to trigger the overflow on
systems directly attached to Xsan. This could lead to a system
crash or arbitrary code execution with system privileges. This
update addresses the issue by performing additional validation
of path names. Credit to Andrew Wellington of The Australian
National University for reporting this issue.
