Mac OS X SLP Daemon Service Registration Buffer Overflow (PoC)
18 Jan. 2007
Summary
"The Service Location Protocol provides a scalable framework for the discovery and selection of network services."
slpd is vulnerable to a buffer overflow condition when processing the attr-list field of a registration request, leading to an exploitable denial of service condition and potential arbitrary execution. It would allow unprivileged local (and possibly remote) users to execute arbitrary code under root privileges.
