Apple Security Update Fixes Multiple Vulnerabilities

Apple Security Update Fixes Multiple Mac OS X Vulnerabilities

Apple has released security patches to correct ten vulnerabilities affecting Mac OS X. These flaws could be exploited by remote or local attackers to execute arbitrary commands, cause a denial of service, obtain elevated privileges, or disclose sensitive information.

The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error in ImageIO when processing specially crafted GIF images, which could be exploited by malicious websites to execute arbitrary commands (e.g. via WebCore or Safari).

The second flaw is due to an error in Mail.app when processing auto-reply rules, which could be exploited by attackers to intercept contents of encrypted messages.

The third vulnerability is due to an unspecified error in Mail.app when using SMTP authentication with Kerberos5, which could cause the application to append un-initialized memory to a message and disclose sensitive information.
