Apple released a huge update today in 10.5.3, however, I'm only going to highlight the Security Portion of the update, 2008-003.  Some of these are purely Apple updates, some are simply updates to the Open Source packages that Apple provides in it's Operating System.

Updates to the following modules were made:

AFP Server -- Files that are not designated for sharing may be accessed remotely.

Apache -- Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache 2.0.55, including cross-site scripting.  Apache is updated to version 2.0.63 to address several vulnerabilities.

AppKit -- Maliciously crafted file, unexpected application termination, arbitrary code execution.

Apple Pixlet Video -- Vulnerability to unexpected application termination, arbitrary code execution.

ATS -- Vulnerability to arbitrary code execution

CFNetwork -- Vulnerability leading to disclosure of sensitive information

CoreFoundation -- Vulnerability leading to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

CoreGraphics -- Vulnerability that may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

CoreTypes -- Lack of prompting against opening "certain potentially unsafe content types" in Automator, Help, Safari, and Terminal.

CUPS -- Information disclosure.

Flash Player Plug-in -- Arbitrary code execution, Updating to version 9.0.124.0.

Help Viewer -- Vulnerability to application termination or arbitrary code execution.

iCal -- Vulnerability to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

International Components for Unicode -- Disclosure of sensitive information.

Image Capture -- Path traversal vulnerability.

ImageIO -- Out-of-bounds memory read leading to information disclosure, Multiple vulnerabilities in libpng version 1.2.18, and Vulnerability to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

Kernel -- Remote vulnerability to unexpected system shutdown due to undetected failure condition and Local user vulnerability to unexpected system shutdown due to mishandling of code signatures.

LoginWindow -- Race condition preventing MCX preferences being applied

Mail -- IPv6 vulnerability leading to unexpected application termination, information disclosure, or arbitrary code execution.

ruby -- Remote vulnerability,  updated to version 1.1.4

Single Sign-On -- Password disclosure in sso_util

Wiki Server -- Remote vulnerability to information disclosure

 

Happy patching all!  I've upgraded three systems here, and I've had no problems that I can tell so far.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
