Buffer overflow in ImageIO in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.8, and Safari before 4.0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an image with crafted EXIF metadata.

The version of Safari installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.0.3.  Such versions are potentially affected by several issues : 

  - A buffer overflow exists in the handling of EXIF metadata could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2188)

  - A vulnerability in WebKit's parsing of floating point numbers may allow for remote code execution. (CVE-2009-2195)

  - A vulnerability in Safari may let a malicious website to be promoted in Safari's Top Sites. (CVE-2009-2196)

  - A vulnerability in how WebKit renders an URL with look alike characters could be used to masquerade a website. (CVE-2009-2199)

  - A vulnerability in WebKit may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2200)

  - A heap buffer overflow in CoreGraphics involving the drawing of long text strings could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2468)

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 4.0.3.  Such versions are potentially affected by several issues :

  - A buffer overflow exists in the handling of EXIF     metadata that ccould lead to a crash or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2009-2188)

  - A vulnerability in WebKit's parsing of floating point     numbers may allow for remote code execution.

  - A vulnerability in WebKit may lead to the disclosure of     sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2200)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in CoreGraphics involving     the drawing of long text strings could lead to a crash     or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2468)
