Secunia has some info on some new potential Mac OSX vulnerability. The list of these potential vulnerabilities include:Good ol' Mac
  •  The Â?BOMStackPop()Â? function used to decompress malformed ZIPs
  •  The "KWQListIteratorImpl()", "drawText()", and "objc_msgSend_rtp()" used by Safari when render malformed HTML
  •  The "ReadBMP()" used by Safari to render malformed BMPs
  •  The "CFAllocatorAllocate()" used to render malformed GIFs
  •  The "_cg_TIFFSetField ()" and "PredictorVSetField()" used in precessing Malformed TIFFs in Preview, The Finder, Quicktime or Safari
These vulnerabilities could lead to both denial of service attacks and system access by remote. I hope that Apple can get them fixed before they are used. Does anybody else remember the days when you couldn't find a vulnerability in the Mac OS unless you were really looking?
