CVE-2006-6061: Apple Mac OS X

High severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 9.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

com.apple.AppleDiskImageController in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed DMG image that triggers memory corruption. NOTE: the severity of this issue has been disputed by a third party, who states that the impact is limited to a denial of service (kernel panic) due to a vm_fault call with a non-aligned address.

Affected products

  • Apple Mac OS X: version 10.4.8 only
  • Apple Mac OS X Server: version 10.4.8 only
