Stack-based buffer overflow in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.7 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (application crash) by attempting to mount a crafted sparse disk image.
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.
