Stack-based buffer overflow in Foundation in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "long pathname with an unexpected structure" that triggers the overflow in NSFileManager.
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.
