*The rationale for this design decision*
We added this functionality to VMware Workstation in order to provide a
seamless user experience using Integrated Virtual Debugger – a user will
not be prompted to log-in each time a program is launched to run/debug
inside a VM.
We determined that, although this automates interaction with the guest
operating system, this is not a /bona fide/ escalation of privileges in

- --- 0.Description ---
Mac OS is the trademarked name for a series of graphical user interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) for their Macintosh line of computer systems. The Macintosh user experience is credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. The original form of what Apple would later name the "Mac OS" was the integral and unnamed system software first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh, usually referred to simply as the System software.
- --- 1. MacOS X 10.5/10.6 libc/strtod(3) buffer overflow ---
The main problem exist in dtoa implementation. MacOS X has the same dtoa as OpenBSD, NetBSD etc. This problem affects not only libc/gdtoa. Affected is also strtod(3) function.
For more information, please see SREASONRES:20090625.
Vendor Response:
Due to the fact that the component in question is an installation script,
the vendor has stated that the attack surface is too small to warrant
a fix:
"We give priority to a better user experience at the install process. It is
unlikely a user would go to the trouble of installing a copy of WordPress
and then not finishing the setup process more-or-less immediately. The
window of opportunity for exploiting such a vulnerability is very small."
However, Trustwave SpiderLabs urges caution in situations where the
The OS X Software Update mechanism uses so called `distribution packages' [1],
which basically consist of two parts. The XML `catalog file', which lists the
available updates and the `distribution definition files' [1], which contain
information encoded in XML and JavaScript, defining every aspect of the
user experience, when installing an update.
When OS X checks for new updates, it first contacts swscan.apple.com
to receive the XML catalog file. This file references the distribution
definition files, which can reside on another server. Software Update
receives these files and calls some of the JavaScript functions to check,
