Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-185

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-185
Posted Nov 16, 2012
Authored by Tipping Point | Site zerodayinitiative.com

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-185 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Mac OSX. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The flaw exists within the DirectoryService daemon. This process listens on TCP port 625 by default on Mac OSX Server pre 10.7. Request types to the service include a sComProxyData structure having a translate field which is responsible for describing the endianness of the payload. When passing a message to SwapProxyMessage for byte-reordering, multiple user controlled fields are trusted including lengths and offsets. When processing this data with DSSwapObjectData, the process will address memory out of the bounds of the allocated region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.

- -- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Apple Mac OSX. Authentication is not required
to exploit this vulnerability.

The flaw exists within the DirectoryService daemon. This process listens on
TCP port 625 by default on Mac OSX Server pre 10.7. Request types to the
service include a sComProxyData structure having a translate field which is
responsible for describing the endianness of the payload. When passing a
message to SwapProxyMessage for byte-reordering, multiple user controlled
fields are trusted including lengths and offsets. When processing this data
with DSSwapObjectData, the process will address memory out of the bounds of
the allocated region. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to
execute arbitrary code under the context of the process.

- -- Vendor Response:
Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can
