CVE Catalog

CVE-2006-1442

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.6, the bundle API in CoreFoundation loads dynamic libraries even if the client application has not directly requested it. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code from an untrusted bundle.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of remote code execution by an attacker who can deliver a malicious bundle to the system. This could lead to compromise of sensitive data or full system control.

Recommendation

Apply the system update to a version where this vulnerability is fixed, as recommended by Apple. Restrict the ability to load untrusted bundles by users.
