CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation, DoS

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Apple Macintosh OS X
http://secunia.com/product/96/

DESCRIPTION:
KF has reported a vulnerability in Apple Mac OS X, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the SLP
daemon ("slpd") when processing the "attr-list" field of a
registration request. This can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow, resulting in a crash of the service or potentially in
execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is reported in Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L2127) on a x86
platform. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.

Disable the service.
