FKIE_CVE-2006-6061
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2006-11-22 01:07 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:32
Severity
Summary
com.apple.AppleDiskImageController in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed DMG image that triggers memory corruption. NOTE: the severity of this issue has been disputed by a third party, who states that the impact is limited to a denial of service (kernel panic) due to a vm_fault call with a non-aligned address.
