Descriptions

AppKit in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 inadvertently makes an NSApplication mach port available for inter-process communication instead of inter-thread communication, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via crafted messages to privileged applications.

AppKit en Apple Mac OS X versión 10.4.11, inadvertidamente realiza una habilitación de un puerto mach NSApplication para la comunicación entre procesos en lugar de la comunicación entre subprocesos (hilos), lo que permite a los usuarios locales ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de mensajes diseñados a aplicaciones privilegiadas.
