Discussion

Apple Mac OS X AppKit Legacy Serialization Kit Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to ensure that integer values are not overrun.

Successfully exploiting these issues could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected software. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

NOTE: These vulnerabilities were previously covered in BID 28304 (Apple Mac OS X 2008-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but have been given this record to better document the issues.
