Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2007-11-15 01:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 14:46
VLAI?
Summary
Integer signedness error in the Networking component in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted AppleTalk message with a negative value, which satisfies a signed comparison during mbuf allocation but is later interpreted as an unsigned value, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Severity ?
