Discussion

Apple Mac OS X CVE-2012-0661 Use After Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Attackers can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Successful exploits will compromise the application and possibly the underlying computer. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

The following versions are affected:

Apple OS X Lion 10.7 through 10.7.3
Apple OS X Lion Server 10.7 through 10.7.3

Note: This issue was previously discussed in BID 53445 (Apple Mac OS X Security Update 2012-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
