Descriptions

Integer overflow in the ffs_mountfs function in Mac OS X 10.4.8 and FreeBSD 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly gain privileges via a crafted DMG image that causes "allocation of a negative size buffer" leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, a related issue to CVE-2006-5679. NOTE: a third party states that this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in FreeBSD because only root may mount a filesystem.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en la función ffs_mountfs en Mac OS X versión 10.4.8 y FreeBSD versión 6.1, permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (pánico) y posiblemente conseguir privilegios por medio de una imagen DMG diseñada que causa la "allocation of a negative size buffer" conllevando a un desbordamiento de búfer en la región heap de la memoria, un problema relacionado con CVE-2006-5679. NOTA: un tercero declara que este problema no cruza los límites de privilegios en FreeBSD porque solo el root puede montar un sistema de archivos.
