Description:
Two vulnerabilities were reported in Mac OS X Image Capture. A local user can view files and obtain elevated privileges on the target system.
A local user can load a specially crafted URL to exploit a path traversal flaw in the Image Capture embedded web server and obtain files on the target system [CVE-2008-1571].
The system uses unsafe temporary files [CVE-2008-1572]. A local user can cause files to be overwritten by a target user with the privileges of the target user. A local user can also access the contents of images being resized by the target user.
Systems running Mac OS X v10.5 and later are not affected by either of these vulnerabilities.
|
Impact:
A remote user can view files on the target system.
A local user can obtain elevated privileges on the target system.
