Madrid, March 22, 2005 - Apple has released an update to resolve nine
security problems affecting its MAC OS.
The update includes the fix for the following problems:
- Two errors in the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) that could allow an
attacker to launch a denial of service attack or discover the contents of a
drop box.
- A local security bypass affecting Bluetooth input devices.
- A buffer overflow problem in Core Foundation, which could allow execution
of arbitrary code.
- Multiple vulnerabilities in Cyrus IMAP, including remotely exploitable
denial of service and buffer overflows.
- A problem affecting the assigning of write permissions, which could allow
different types of attacks.
- Directory traversal in Mailman, which could allow access to arbitrary
files
- A script is also included for the Safari browser to correct a problem in
the processing of URLs in International Domain Names (IDN) format that
could allow phishing attacks.
The updates can be downloaded from:
