HTTP: Apple Xcode Core Image Fun House XML Data Handling Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Apple Core Image Fun House version 2.0 and earlier. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.

Extended Description

Apple Xcode Core Image Fun House is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious '.funhouse' file. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Apple Xcode 2.0 through 3.0 are vulnerable.
