Spotlight in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 does not properly handle temporary files, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files in the context of a different user's privileges via unspecified vectors.

A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave, watchOS 7.3, tvOS 14.4, iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4. A local user may be able to create or modify system files.

An issue in the handling of symlinks was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in Security Update 2022-003 Catalina, macOS Monterey 12.3, macOS Big Sur 11.6.5. A malicious app with root privileges may be able to modify the contents of system files.

A logic issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.7, tvOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6. An attacker that has already achieved kernel code execution may be able to bypass kernel memory mitigations.

A validation issue was addressed with improved input sanitization. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5, watchOS 7.4. A local user may be able to write arbitrary files.

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 vmx86 kernel extension in VMware Fusion before 2.0.6 build 196839 does not use correct file permissions, which allows host OS users to gain privileges on the host OS via unspecified vectors.

The Profiles component in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1, when installing a configuration profile, can replace the password policy from Exchange ActiveSync with a weaker password policy, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the intended policy.

XNU 1228.9.59 and earlier on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 and earlier does not properly restrict interaction between user space and the HFS IOCTL handler, which allows local users to overwrite kernel memory and gain privileges by attaching an HFS+ disk image and performing certain steps involving HFS_GET_BOOT_INFO fcntl calls.

Apple Safari executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object, as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users, and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe's position is "a PDF file is active content."

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.

The kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.5.4 does not properly flush cached credentials during recycling (aka purging) of a vnode, which might allow local users to bypass the intended read or write permissions of a file.

Application Sandbox in Apple iPod touch 2.0 through 2.0.2, and iPhone 2.0 through 2.0.2, does not properly isolate third-party applications, which allows attackers to read arbitrary files in a third-party application's sandbox via a different third-party application.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) Server in Apple Mac OS X before 10.5.3 does not verify that requested files and directories are inside shared folders, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via unspecified AFP traffic.

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."
