Little Snitch versions 4.3.0 to 4.3.2 have a local privilege escalation vulnerability in their privileged helper tool. The privileged helper tool implements an XPC interface which is available to any process and allows directory listings and copying files as root.

Certificate Assistant in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via unknown vectors related to an "insecure file operation" on a temporary file.

An attacker can pre-create the `/Applications/Google\ Drive.app/Contents/MacOS` directory which is expected to be owned by root to be owned by a non-root user. When the Drive for Desktop installer is run for the first time, it will place a binary in that directory with execute permissions and set its setuid bit. Since the attacker owns the directory, the attacker can replace the binary with a symlink, causing the installer to set the setuid bit on the symlink. When the symlink is executed, it will run with root permissions. We recommend upgrading past version 64.0

The Repair Permissions tool in Disk Utility in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 adds the setuid bit to the emacs executable file, which allows local users to gain privileges by executing commands within emacs.

The Passcode Lock feature in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.1 displays SMS messages when the emergency-call screen is visible, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading these messages. NOTE: this might be a duplicate of CVE-2008-4593.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in the Quarantine feature in CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an executable file with the content type indicating no application association for the file, which does not trigger a "potentially unsafe" warning message.

The File Sharing pane in the Sharing preference pane in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4 does not inform users that the complete contents of their own home directories are shared for their own use, which might allow attackers to leverage other vulnerabilities and access files for which sharing was unintended.

Apple iPhone 2.0.2, in some configurations, allows physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, and obtain sensitive information or make arbitrary use of the device, via an Emergency Call tap and a Home double-tap, followed by a tap of any contact's blue arrow.

Apple Safari allows web sites to set cookies for country-specific top-level domains, such as co.uk and com.au, which could allow remote attackers to perform a session fixation attack and hijack a user's HTTP session, aka "Cross-Site Cooking," a related issue to CVE-2004-0746, CVE-2004-0866, and CVE-2004-0867.

Apple Safari on Mac OS X, and before 3.1.2 on Windows, does not prompt the user before downloading an object that has an unrecognized content type, which allows remote attackers to place malware into the (1) Desktop directory on Windows or (2) Downloads directory on Mac OS X, and subsequently allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Windows by leveraging an untrusted search path vulnerability in (a) Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP or (b) the SearchPath function in Windows XP, Vista, and Server 2003 and 2008, aka a "Carpet Bomb" and a "Blended Threat Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability," a different issue than CVE-2008-1032. NOTE: Apple considers this a vulnerability only because the Microsoft products can load application libraries from the desktop and, as of 20080619, has not covered the issue in an advisory for Mac OS X.

Open Scripting Architecture in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4, and some other 10.4 and 10.5 versions, does not properly restrict the loading of scripting addition plugins, which allows local users to gain privileges via scripting addition commands to a privileged application, as originally demonstrated by an osascript tell command to ARDAgent.

Image Capture in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5 does not properly use temporary files, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, and display images that are being resized by this application.

Unspecified vulnerability in Alias Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1 and earlier on Intel platforms allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) by resolving an alias that contains crafted AFP volume mount information.

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in CoreTypes in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) .xht or (2) .xhtm file, which does not trigger a "potentially unsafe" warning message in (a) the Download Validation feature in Mac OS X 10.4 or (b) the Quarantine feature in Mac OS X 10.5.

Finder in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4 does not properly update permission data in the Get Info window after a lock operation that modifies Sharing & Permissions in a filesystem, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions that were not intended by an administrator.

Dock in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.4, when Exposé hot corners is enabled, allows physically proximate attackers to gain access to a locked session in (1) sleep mode or (2) screen saver mode via unspecified vectors.

The scheduler in CUPS in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.3, when debug logging is enabled and a printer requires a password, allows attackers to obtain sensitive information (credentials) by reading the log data, related to "authentication environment variables."

The Application Firewall in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.2 has an incorrect German translation for the "Set access for specific services and applications" radio button that might cause the user to believe that the button is used to restrict access only to specific services and applications, which might allow attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Mail in Apple Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.1) allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AppleDouble attachment containing an apparently-safe file type and script in a resource fork, which does not warn the user that a separate program is going to be executed. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2006-0395.

WebKit on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 does not create temporary files securely when Safari is previewing a PDF file, which allows local users to read the contents of that file.

Safari in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows remote attackers to access local content via file:// URLs.

Apple QuickTime for Java 7.1.6 on Mac OS X and Windows does not properly restrict QTObject subclassing, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a web page containing a user-defined class that accesses unsafe functions that can be leveraged to write to arbitrary memory locations.

Apple Mac OS X before 10.5 uses weak permissions for the User Template directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by inserting a Trojan horse file into this directory.

AppKit in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 inadvertently makes an NSApplication mach port available for inter-process communication instead of inter-thread communication, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via crafted messages to privileged applications.

The MHTML protocol handler in a component of Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 SP2 and 6 through SP1, and Windows Mail, does not assign the correct Internet Explorer Security Zone to UNC share pathnames, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read arbitrary files via an mhtml: URI in conjunction with a redirection, aka "URL Parsing Cross-Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability."
