CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
Apple Remote Desktop 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/12647/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Apple Remote Desktop, which can
be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The problem is caused due to insecure default permissions on the
included built-in packages used to install and upgrade client
systems. This can be exploited to modify the packages on Apple Remote
Desktop admin systems.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with
"root" privileges on client systems when installing or updating the
software.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.1.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.1 Client:
