Apple Mac OS X CoreGraphics PDF Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Note: This issue was previously covered in BID 63282(Apple Mac OS X APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it.

Versions prior Mac OS X 10.9 are vulnerable.
