a couple of bugs i found in os x applications:
real player for os x:
_______________________________
realplayer's proxy preference contains an overflow when filled with a
large string of characters.
gdb output:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x61616169
0x90003bf4 in szone_malloc ()
(gdb)
as shown by the output the program is trying to reach the memory
adress of 0x61616169 (which translates to a string of a's) since i put
a large string of a's in the proxy preference box it overwrit the
correct adress in memory with a's.
_______________________________
Grapher for os x:
_______________________________
when copying and pasteing a large string into grapher's y value box it
causes grapher to eat up memory causing a denial of service type bug.
_______________________________
garage band for os x:
_______________________________
if you change the composer name, itunes library, and album name in
garage band's preferences to large strings then make a change to
your song then press the exit button then when it asks to save say
yes, it will crash
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x00000b2b
0x909ad0f8 in objc_msgSend ()
