CVSS v2.0

7.8

High

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Mac OS X version 10.4.8

Description: The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a kernel panic. This occurs when a crafted HFS+ filesystem in a DMG image is processed, leading to an access of an invalid vnode structure during file removal.

Recommendations: For Mac OS X version 10.4.8, consider avoiding the use of crafted HFS+ filesystems in DMG images until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the do hfs truncate function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
