CVE-2009-2830

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—

Multiple buffer overflows in Christos Zoulas file before 5.03 in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.2 allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Common Document Format (CDF) file. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2009-1515.
