rigan has reported a vulnerability in usbmuxd, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people with physical access to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "receive_packet()" function (libusbmuxd/libusbmuxd.c) when processing a property list containing an overly long "SerialNumber" field, which can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code, but requires that the attacker is able to connect a malicious USB device. https://secunia.com/advisories/47545/ https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399409 source code commit: http://git.marcansoft.com/?p=usbmuxd.git;a=commitdiff;h=f794991993af56a74795891b4ff9da506bc893e6
