CFNetwork in Apple Mac OS X 10.6.x before 10.6.5 does not properly validate the domains of cookies, which makes it easier for remote web servers to track users by setting a cookie that is associated with a partial IP address.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
