filters/image-gif.c in Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.1.14 through 1.1.17 does not properly check for zero-length GIF images, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via modified chunk headers, as demonstrated by nogif.

Mac OS X 10.3.x and earlier uses insecure permissions for a pseudo terminal tty (pty) that is managed by a non-setuid program, which allows local users to read or modify sessions of other users.

LaunchServices in Mac OS X 10.3.4 and 10.2.8 automatically registers and executes new applications, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code without warning the user.

lukemftpd in Mac OS X 10.3.9 allows remote authenticated users to escape the chroot environment by logging in with their full name.

Unspecified vulnerability in Safari, LaunchServices, and/or CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.5 allows attackers to trick a user into opening an application that appears to be a safe file type. NOTE: due to the lack of specific information in the vendor advisory, it is not clear how CVE-2006-0397, CVE-2006-0398, and CVE-2006-0399 are different.

Apache for Apple Mac OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3.6 allows remote attackers to read files and resource fork content via HTTP requests to certain special file names related to multiple data streams in HFS+, which bypass Apache file handles.

Mail in Mac OS X 10.3.7, when generating a Message-ID header, generates a GUUID that includes information that identifies the Ethernet hardware being used, which allows remote attackers to link mail messages to a particular machine.

The (1) stopserver.sh and (2) startserver.sh scripts in Adobe Version Cue on Mac OS X uses the current working directory to find and execute the productname.sh script, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by copying and calling the scripts from a user-controlled directory.

Buffer overflow in Apple QuickTime before 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted QuickTime MPEG4 (M4P) video format file.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Finder Get Info window for Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.4.2 causes Finder to misrepresent file and group ownership information. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue satisfies the CVE definition of a vulnerability.

Mac OS X 10.4.3 up to 10.4.6, when loginwindow uses the "Name and password" setting, and the "Show the Restart, Sleep, and Shut Down buttons" option is disabled, allows users with physical access to bypass login and reboot the system by entering ">restart", ">power", or ">shutdown" sequences after the username.

MacOS uses weak encryption for passwords that are stored in the Users & Groups Data File.

HelpViewer in Mac OS X 10.3.3 and 10.2.8 processes scripts that it did not initiate, which can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, an issue that was originally reported as a directory traversal vulnerability in the Safari web browser using the runscript parameter in a help: URI handler.
