Heap-based buffer overflow in Desktop Services in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a directory with a crafted .DS_Store file.
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.
