CVE-2007-0299

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.1)—

Integer overflow in the byte_swap_sbin function in bsd/ufs/ufs/ufs_byte_order.c in Mac OS X 10.4.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by mounting a crafted Unix File System (UFS) DMG image, which triggers an invalid pointer dereference.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
