CVE-2009-2808

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Mac OS X versions prior to 10.6.2

Description The issue concerns the Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X, which does not use a secure HTTPS connection to retrieve content from a website. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to send a crafted help:runscript link, potentially executing arbitrary code via a spoofed response.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.6.2, update to version 10.6.2 or later to resolve the issue.
