Among the patches released on Thursday were three for Kerberos administration, all of which could lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution with system privileges, according to Apple’s advisory.
Another buffer overflow vulnerability was patched in the AirPort Driver module, which an attacker can exploit by malformed control commands.
Apple also patched two bugs in libinfo, and three flaws in Login Window.
