Title: Apple Mac OS X CoreGraphics Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Apple Mac OS X is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.
An integer-overflow vulnerability occurs in the CoreGraphics component. Specifically, the issue can be triggered when the application parses a maliciously crafted PDF file with Type 1 fonts. Attackers can exploit this issue to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
The following versions are affected:
Mac OS X v10.4.11 and prior
Mac OS X Server v10.4.11 and prior
Mac OS X v10.5.4 and prior
Mac OS X Server v10.5.4 and prior
