Descriptions

The OpenGL implementation in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.3 does not properly perform OpenGL Shading Language (aka GLSL) compilation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted program.

La implementación de OpenGL en Apple Mac OS X antes de v10.7.3 no realiza adecuadamente la compilación de OpenGL Shading Language (también conocido como GLSL), lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) a través de un programa especificamente creado para este fin.

Apple has addressed 48 security vulnerabilities. These issues existed in packages such as Address Book, Apache, CFNetwork, ColorSync, CoreAudio, CoreMedia, CoreText, curl and much more.
