Disk Images in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3 does not provide the expected warning for an unsafe file type in an internet enabled disk image, which makes it easier for user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a package file type.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-0497 affects Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.3. A downloaded disk image could fail to show the expected warning for an unsafe package file, making it easier to trick a user into running code. The business risk is mainly legacy Mac exposure and user-assisted compromise. Exposure is most likely on legacy Mac OS X systems earlier than 10.6.3 that can open downloaded or internet-enabled disk images. Current macOS exposure is not indicated by the provided sources. Treat as a legacy-system hygiene issue. Prioritize if any pre-10.6.3 Macs remain in production, especially where users download software or open external disk images. Mitigation focus: Apply Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6.3 security update where applicable.; Retire or isolate Macs that cannot be updated past affected versions.; Restrict use of downloaded disk images on legacy Macs..
