Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 7.2
CWE Name:  Numeric Errors
Summary: integer overflow in the ffs_mountfs function in mac os x 10.4.8 and freebsd 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly gain privileges via a crafted dmg image that causes "allocation of a negative size buffer" leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, a related issue to cve-2006-5679.  note: a third party states that this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in freebsd because only root may mount a filesystem.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: LOW
Access Vector: LOCAL
Impact (C/I/A): COMPLETE/COMPLETE/COMPLETE
