SMTP: Mac OS X and FreeBSD ffs_mountfs Routine Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in ffs_mountfs routine used within Mac OS X and FreeBSD. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution with elevated privileges.
Extended Description
Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote integer-overflow vulnerability. This issue occurs when the UFS filesystem handler fails to handle specially crafted DMG images. A successful exploit can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges, leading to the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Mac OS X 10.4.8 and freeBSD 6.1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
