Buffer overflow in Apple Core Image Fun House 2.0 and earlier in CoreImage Examples in Xcode tools before 3.1 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a .funhouse file with a string XML element that contains many characters.
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.
