Apple OS X Software Update Remote Command Execution

---------------------------------------------------------------------


I. Vulnerability Description

The OS X Software Update mechanism uses so called `distribution packages' [1],

information encoded in XML and JavaScript, defining every aspect of the
user experience, when installing an update.

Re: pwgen: non-uniform distribution of passwords

However, as I wrote in a followup posting to oss-security 2 days ago:

"I might update/revise my analysis on this issue in a few days.

Specifically, I now suspect that a (large) part of the apparent
non-uniformity of the distribution was in fact an artifact of my
analysis approach.  I only analyzed sets of 1 million of pwgen'ed
passwords, so I could not directly check the distribution of full
passwords (1 million is too little, even compared to the small keyspace
of these passwords), whereas JtR only uses trigraph frequencies.
