Descriptions

The hfs implementation in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.x before 10.6.5 supports hard links to directories and does not prevent certain deeply nested directory structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption) via a crafted application that calls the mkdir and link functions, related to the fsck_hfs program in the diskdev_cmds component.

La implementación de hfs en Apple Mac OS X versión 10.5.8 y versión 10.6.x anterior a 10.6.5, admite enlaces físicos en directorios y no impide ciertas estructuras de directorios profundamente anidadas, lo que permite a los usuarios locales causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción del sistema de archivos) por medio de una aplicación creada que llama a las funciones mkdir y link, relacionadas con el programa fsck_hfs en el componente diskdev_cmds.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in HFS, including a hard linking issue that can be used to trigger a denial of service condition.
