Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the shared_region_make_private_np function in vm/vm_unix.c in Mac OS X 10.4.6 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) a small range count, which causes insufficient memory allocation, or (2) a large number of ranges in the shared_region_make_private_np_args parameter.

Desbordamiento de búfer en la función shared_region_make_private_np de vm/vm_unix.c de Mac OS X 10.4.6 y versiones anteriores permite a usuarios locales ejecutar código de su elección mediante (1) un contador de rango pequeño, que provoca insuficiencia de reserva de memoria, ó (2) un gran número de rangos en el parámetro shared_region_make_private_np_args.
