Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Apple: Not Vulnerable. The underlying code in Mac OS X is not susceptible to the vulnerability described in this notice.

Vendor Information

The vendor has not provided us with any further information regarding this vulnerability.

Addendum

Based on source code analysis, cvs-29 from the Darwin Projects Directory appears to be vulnerable. However, the Apple OS X malloc(3) implementation (phkmalloc) may safely handle the double-free condition. If malloc(3) is configured such that all warnings are fatal ("A" option), the impact of this vulnerability on Darwin cvs-29 may be limited to a denial of service.

Darwin cvs-29 may not be the same cvs code that is shipped with the Apple OS X Developer Tools package.

If you have feedback, comments, or additional information about this vulnerability, please send us email.
