CVE-ID: CVE-2007-0729
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9,
Mac OS X v10.4.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9
Impact: A local user may obtain system privileges
Description: Under certain circumstances, AFP Client may execute
commands without properly cleaning the environment. This may allow a
local user to create files or execute commands with system
privileges. This update addresses the issue by cleaning the
environment prior to executing commands.
AirPort
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-0725
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9,
Mac OS X v10.4.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9
Impact: A local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with
elevated privileges
Description: A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the
AirPortDriver module which processes control commands for AirPort. By
sending malformed control commands, a local user could trigger the
overflow which may lead to arbitrary code execution with elevated
privileges. This issue affects eMac, iBook, iMac, PowerBook G3,
PowerBook G4, and Power Mac G4 systems equipped with an original
AirPort card. This issue does not affect systems with the AirPort
Extreme card. This update addresses the issue by performing proper
bounds checking.
CarbonCore
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-0732
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9
Impact: A local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with
elevated privileges
Description: The CoreServices daemon could allow a local user to
obtain a send right to its Mach task port, which may lead to
arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges. This update
addresses the issue by through improved checks in the CoreServices
interprocess communication. This issue does not affect systems prior
to Mac OS X v10.4.

Impact: Opening a maliciously-crafted UFS disk image may lead to an
unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A memory corruption vulnerability exists in fsck. It is
possible to cause fsck to be run automatically on a disk image when
it is opened. By enticing a user to open a maliciously-crafted disk
image, or to run fsck on any maliciously-crafted UFS filesystem, an
attacker could trigger the issue which may lead to an unexpected
application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update
addresses the issue by performing additional validation of UFS
filesystems.

Impact: Listing or extracting a maliciously-crafted tar archive
may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary
code execution
Description: A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling
of PAX extended headers in GNU tar archives. By enticing a local user
to list or extract a maliciously-crafted tar archive, an attacker can
trigger the overflow which may lead to an unexpected application
termination or arbitrary code execution. This issue has been
addressed by performing additional validation of tar files. This
issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X 10.4.

any logged in user to capture console keystrokes, including passwords
and other sensitive information. This update addresses the issue by
limiting HID device events to processes belonging to the current
console user. Credit to Andrew Garber of University of Victoria, Alex
Harper, and Michael Evans for reporting this issue. This fix was
originally distributed via the Mac OS X v10.4.9 update. Due to a
packaging issue, it may not have been delivered to all systems. This
update redistributes the fix in order to reach all affected systems.
