Apple Mac OS X AppleTalk _ATPsndrsp Function Remote Heap Overflow Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X AppleTalk is prone to a heap-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform sufficient boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to a buffer.

An attacker could leverage this issue to have arbitrary code execute with administrative privileges. A successful exploit could result in the complete compromise of the affected system.

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