              MAC OS X Jaguar and Panther Security Vulnerabilities
           [Apple Security Updates 2004-04-05 (10.2.8) and (10.3.3)]

April 8, 2004 22:00 GMT                                           Number O-110
______________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM:       Several security vulnerabilities have been identified in MAC OS 
               X Jaguar and Panther. Note, most of these vulnerabilities were 
               addressed in previously released CIAC bulletins. 
PLATFORM:      Mac OS X 10.2.8 "Jaguar" and Mac OS X 10.2.8 Server 
               Mac OS X 10.3.3 "Panther" and Mac OS X 10.3.3 Server 
DAMAGE:        Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL (see CIAC O-101) may cause a denial 
               of service. System compromise may occur if a vulnerability in 
               libxml is exploited (see CIAC O-086). Unspecified 
               vulnerabilities exist in CUPS printing and Mail handling 
               HTML-formatted emails. 
SOLUTION:      Apply security updates available on vendor bulletins. 
______________________________________________________________________________
VULNERABILITY  The risk is LOW. May cause denial of service or system access. 
ASSESSMENT:    Note that most vulnerabilities have been addressed in 
               previously released CIAC bulletins.
