Apple Mac OS X SLP Daemon Service Registration Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X SLP Daemon Service Registration Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X SLP daemon is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

Successful exploits may cause arbitrary code to run superuser privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 is reported vulnerable; other versions may be affected as well.
