Discussion

Apple Mac OS X Disk Image Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that affects the Disk Images component.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing a user into mounting a specially crafted sparse disk image.

A successful exploit will allow attacker-supplied content to run in the context of the victim mounting the image or to cause a denial of service.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 34926 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
