CVE-2010-0105: Apple Mac OS X

Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The hfs implementation in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.x before 10.6.5 supports hard links to directories and does not prevent certain deeply nested directory structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (filesystem corruption) via a crafted application that calls the mkdir and link functions, related to the fsck_hfs program in the diskdev_cmds component.

Affected products

• Apple Mac OS X: version 10.5.8 only; version 10.6.0 only; version 10.6.1 only; version 10.6.2 only; version 10.6.3 only; version 10.6.4 only
