CVE-2007-6165: Apple Mac OS X

High severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 44.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Mail in Apple Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.1) allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an AppleDouble attachment containing an apparently-safe file type and script in a resource fork, which does not warn the user that a separate program is going to be executed. NOTE: this is a regression error related to CVE-2006-0395.
