Buffer overflow in CoreFoundation in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted directory hierarchy.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
