Atstake Security Advisory A102803-3 - It is possible to cause the the Mac OS X kernel prior to v10.3 to crash by specifying a long command line argument. While this primarily affects local users there may be conditions where this situation is remotely exploitable if a program which receives network input spawns another process with user input. It is possible to use this condition to dump small portions of memory back to an attacker.
