Description

Mac OS X Server contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass firewall protection. The issue is triggered by the 'serialnumberd' daemon, which monitors software licensing via UDP port 626, and will open the port through the firewall if it discovers the port has been blocked. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary access to the 'serialnumberd' daemon, resulting in a loss of integrity.
