Heap-based buffer overflow in the LZWDecodeVector function in Mac OS X before 10.4.6, as used in applications that use ImageIO or AppKit, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted TIFF images.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious TIFF image could make vulnerable Mac OS X systems run attacker-controlled code. The issue affects Mac OS X versions before 10.4.6 through Apple image-handling components used by applications. This is mainly a legacy exposure problem today, but old image-processing hosts remain high risk. Legacy Mac OS X hosts earlier than 10.4.6, especially systems or applications that process TIFF images through ImageIO or AppKit. The bundle’s affected-product metadata is incomplete and does not identify non-Apple products. Treat as high priority only where legacy Mac OS X before 10.4.6 still exists. For current environments, urgency depends on whether unsupported Apple systems remain in production or archive-processing roles. Mitigation focus: Apply Apple’s relevant security update or upgrade Mac OS X to 10.4.6 or later.; Inventory legacy Mac OS X systems that process images, email attachments, web content, or shared files.; Restrict untrusted TIFF handling on any system that cannot be upgraded immediately..
