Attack code out for Apple flaw
June 29, 2006
Apple Computer issued a patch for its Xsan Filesystem software on Thursday, designed to fix vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash a system. The patch, Xsan Filesystem 1.4, is targeted at systems running Mac OS X version 10.4.7 and Mac OS X Server version 10.4.7.
The Xsan Filesystem flaws could enable a malicious attacker to launch a buffer overflow attack when the software driver is processing a path name. That could lead to a system crash or arbitrary code execution with system privileges, Apple said.

tell whether you are saying any system running OS X is effected or
just XServe systems.
"The patch, Xsan Filesystem 1.4, is targeted at
systems running Mac OS X version 10.4.7 and
Mac OS X Server version 10.4.7."
That sounds to me like _any_ Mac running Mac
OS X 10.4.7 as well as any computer running
the same version of OS X server.
