Apple iPhoto v4.0.3 DPAP Server Denial of Service Exploit

[David Wharton <security () davidwharton us>]

A little zero-day exploit in memory of Dude VanWinkle.

Apple iPhoto v4.0.3 DPAP (Digital Photo Access Protocol) Server Denial  
of Service Exploit.

Other versions may be vulnerable too; the current version should not  
be vulnerable.

The server process catches the exception, exits cleanly, but does not  
restart.

This exploits a previously undisclosed vulnerability.
