Mac OS X 10.5.6/10.5.7 ptrace() Mutex Handling Denial Of Service

Mac OS X 10.5.6/10.5.7 ptrace() Mutex Handling Denial Of Service
Posted Nov 5, 2009
Authored by prdelka | Site prdelka.blackart.org.uk

Mac OS X versions 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 ptrace() mutex handling denial of service exploit. This code should be run in a loop and due to problems with mutex handling in ptrace a denial of service can occur when a destroyed mutex is attempted to be interlocked by the OSX kernel giving rise to a race condition. You may need to run this code multiple times.
