Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mac OS X versions 10.4.x up to 10.4.1

Description The issue concerns a problem where LaunchServices in Mac OS X does not correctly identify certain file extensions and MIME types as unsafe. This occurs when an Apple Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) is not created upon adding a type to the database of unsafe types, potentially allowing attackers to bypass intended restrictions.

Recommendations For Mac OS X versions 10.4.x up to 10.4.1, update to a version that properly handles the creation of Apple Uniform Type Identifiers (UTIs) for unsafe file types to prevent bypassing of restrictions.
