Integer overflow in the kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large num_sels argument to the i386_set_ldt system call.
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.
