Apple Mac OS X Two Vulnerabilities
Apple Mac OS X Two Vulnerabilities

Description:

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Mac OS X, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or replace system widgets on a user's system.

1) A NULL pointer dereference error in the TCP/IP implementation can be exploited to crash the kernel via a specially crafted TCP/IP packet.

The vulnerability affects Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.4.

2) An error in the Dashboard can be exploited to install widgets with the same internal identifier (CFBundleIdentifier) as an Apple-supplied widgets thereby replacing it.

The vulnerability affects Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X Server 10.4.
