      Mac OS X 10.3 iSync Local Privilege Escalation (mRouter)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    Mac OS X's iSync service contains a setuid binary called 'mRouter' that
    contains an exploitable buffer overflow. This buffer overflow can be
    triggered by using the -v and -a switches, and providing it with a buffer
    of 4096 bytes.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Mac OS X 10.3.7 with iSync

    Exploit:
    /*
      * fm-iSink.c
      * overflow in mRouter, suid binary used by iSync, on OSX <= 10.3.7
