Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2006-1443 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer underflow in CoreFoundation in Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.6 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving conversions from string to file system representation within (1) CFStringGetFileSystemRepresentation or (2) getFileSystemRepresentation:maxLength:withPath in NSFileManager, and possibly other similar API functions.. EPSS estimates a 2.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
