Apple Releases Mac OS X v10.6.5 and Security Update 2010-007

Original release date: November 12, 2010 at 8:42 am
Last revised: November 16, 2010 at 11:13 am


Apple has released Mac OS X v10.6.5 and Security Update 2010-007 to
address multiple vulnerabilities affecting a number of packages.
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code, obtain sensitive information, conduct cross-site
scripting attacks, cause a denial-of-service condition, or bypass
security restrictions.

Systems using PGP WDE should not be updated. Public reports indicate
that a compatibility issue exists between PGP WDE and the Mac OS X
v10.6.5 update. Applying the Mac OS X v10.6.5 update to a system
running PGP WDE will prevent the system from successfully booting.
Additional information about this issue can be found in PGP
knowledgebase article 2288.

Users and administrators are encouraged to review Apple article HT4435
and apply any necessary updates. Users and administrators running PGP
WDE should delay updating to Mac OS X v10.6.5 until a solution has
been identified. PGP WDE users who cannot postpone updating to Mac OS
X v10.6.5, or who have previously updated to Mac OS X v10.6.5 and are
unable to boot their systems, should refer to PGP knowledgebase
article 2288 for instructions on safely applying this update or
recovering a system that fails to boot because this update was
applied.

UPDATE: Apple has released Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 build 10H575 to
address an issue with the Dovecot package in the initial release of
Mac OS X Server v10.6.5. Mac OS X Server users and administrators are
encouraged to review Apple article HT4452 and update to Mac OS X
Server v10.6.5 build 10H575.

US-CERT will provide additional information as it becomes available.
