7.2 HIGH — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Description

The Mach kernel, as used in operating systems including (1) Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 and (2) OpenStep before 4.2, allows local users to gain privileges via a parent process that forces an exception in a setuid child and uses Mach exception ports to modify the child's thread context and task address space in a way that causes the child to call a parent-controlled function.

Affected configurations

• apple mac os x 10.4 • apple mac os x 10.4.1 • apple mac os x 10.4.2 • apple mac os x 10.4.3 • apple mac os x 10.4.4 • apple mac os x 10.4.5 • apple mac os x 10.4.6 • apple mac os x 10.4.7 • next openstep 4.1
