Month Of Apple Bugs Begins

The “Month of bugs” featuring Apple computers has begun and a bug has already been found. According to the website, the initiative is an effort to improve Mac OS X by uncovering security flaws in different Apple software and third-party applications.



A vulnerability exists in the handling of the rtsp:// URL handler. By supplying a specially crafted string (rtsp:// [random] + semicolon + [299 bytes padding + payload]), an attacker could overflow a stack-based buffer, using either HTML, Javascript or a QTL file as attack vector, leading to an exploitable remote arbitrary code execution condition.

Haha, l love how simple stuff like that can lead to arbitrary code execution.

At which point did Safari become a remote terminal? :p

Well, we're eight days in and, surprisingly, my Mac is still bug-free.
Are you sure they said January? :p
