Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in Mac OS X 10.4.6 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) PredictorVSetField function for TIFF or (2) CFAllocatorAllocate function for GIF, as used in applications that use ImageIO or AppKit. NOTE: the BMP vector has been re-assigned to CVE-2006-2238 because it affects a separate product family.

The remote host is running Apple Mac OS X, but lacks Security Update 2006-003. This security update contains fixes for the following applications :
AppKit
ImageIO
BOM
CFNetwork
ClamAV (Mac OS X Server only)
CoreFoundation
CoreGraphics
Finder
FTPServer
Flash Player
KeyChain
LaunchServices
libcurl
Mail
MySQL Manager (Mac OS X Server only)
Preview
QuickDraw
QuickTime Streaming Server
Ruby
Safari

The remote Mac OS X host is running a version of Quicktime prior to 7.1.  The remote version of Quicktime is vulnerable to various integer and buffer overflows involving specially-crafted image and media files.  An attacker may be able to leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host by sending a malformed file to a victim and having it opened using QuickTime player.

The remote host is using a version of curl (or libcurl) that is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflows. To exploit, an attacker would have to set up a rogue web server and entice a curl user into browsing to the malicious server.  Upon successful exploitation, the attacker would be able to execute arbitrary commands with the rights of the web server.

The remote host is running Apple Mac OS X, but lacks Security Update 2005-009. This security update contains fixes for the following applications :
- Apache2
- Apache_mod_ssl
- CoreFoundation
- curl
- iodbcadmintool
- OpenSSL
- passwordserver
- Safari
- sudo
- syslog 

The remote host is using a version of curl (or libcurl) that is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflows. To exploit, an attacker would have to set up a rogue web server that would reply with a malicious NTLM authentication request.  Upon successful exploitation, the attacker would be able to execute arbitrary commands with the rights of the web server.

The remote host is using a version of wget that contains a flaw in the way that it handles NTLM authentication data.  Specifically, a rogue website that returns malformed data during an NTLM authentication session will be able to execute arbitrary code on the local client machine. 

The remote host is running ClamAV, an antivirus application. There are a number of flaws that affect this version of ClamAV, and the vendor recommends upgrading to version 0.88.1 or higher.
