Stack-based buffer overflow in the Core Foundation Library in Mac OS X 10.3.5 and 10.3.6, and possibly earlier versions, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long CF_CHARSET_PATH environment variable.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Mac OS X Core Foundation flaw where a local user could trigger memory corruption using an overly long environment variable. The sources identify Mac OS X 10.3.5 and 10.3.6, possibly earlier. It matters mainly for legacy systems still in service. Exposure is likely limited to obsolete Mac OS X 10.3.5, 10.3.6, and possibly earlier systems. Modern supported macOS versions are not named in the provided sources. Confirm legacy desktops, build hosts, kiosks, and lab machines. Prioritize this where legacy Mac OS X systems still exist. The issue is old and local-only in the provided evidence, but arbitrary code execution on unsupported systems can still create business risk when those systems support operations. Mitigation focus: Inventory Mac OS X 10.3.5, 10.3.6, and possibly earlier systems.; Review Apple Security Update 2005-003 guidance for the vendor-supported correction.; Apply the relevant Apple security update where the system remains supported..
