Descriptions

Disk Images in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 does not provide the expected warning for an unsafe file type in an internet enabled disk image, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a package file type.

Disk Images en Apple Mac OS X anteriores a v10.6.3 no proporciona la advertencia esperada de tipo de fichero inseguro en una imagen de disco habilitada para internet, lo cual facilita a atacantes remotos asistidos por usuarios ejecutar código a su elección a través del tipo de fichero del paquete.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the handling of internet enabled disk image files. When a specially crafted Menu Extras plugin is included in the disk image, it is executed without further interaction allowing for arbitrary code execution under the context of the current user.
