CVE-2005-1723
HighSummary
Vulnerability in LaunchServices on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.x up to 10.4.1 does not properly mark file extensions and MIME types as unsafe if an Apple Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) is not created when the type is added to the database of unsafe types, which could allow attackers to bypass intended restrictions.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves bypassing system security mechanisms, potentially allowing execution of malicious code or opening dangerous files without proper user warning.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the system to a version later than 10.4.1, where the vulnerability has been fixed. Also consider manually checking and configuring the list of unsafe file types.
