TidBITS#817/20-Feb-06
=====================
It's been a busy Mac week. Apple updated most applications in
iLife '06 and released Mac OS X 10.4.5, and then announced that
the MacBook Pro has begun shipping - with faster processors
than originally promised. However, two new Mac malware threats,
Leap-A and Inqtana-A, hogged the spotlight. Although neither is
particularly dangerous, Matt Neuburg looks at the weakness that
Leap-A is exploiting. Also in this issue, we note the releases
of iKey 2.2 and Camino 1.0.

**Mac OS X 10.4.5 Fixes Nits** -- Apple last week released Mac OS
X 10.4.5, a bug-fix update that offers oodles of small changes.
Most notable are a fix that prevents Safari from crashing when
deleting AOL email messages via AOL webmail, proper functioning
of Apple's IPsec VPN client with Cisco servers whether or not NAT
(Network Address Translation) is used, a fix for synchronizing
with an iDisk larger than 4 GB, and a fix that enables some
previously problematic Epson printers to be used successfully
via an AirPort Extreme base station. A number of changes affect
only Intel-based Macs, including two fixes to Rosetta: one that
enables applications to open files located via the search field
in Open dialogs and another that enables Rosetta-translated
applications to receive Keychain notifications correctly. Many
of the other changes are cosmetic (Fast User Switching's rotating
cube now appears as expected on primary and mirrored displays)
or highly specific (the Setup Assistant no longer crashes if
Kotoeri is selected as the keyboard type following an English
language installation of Mac OS X). Mac OS X 10.4.5 is available
as separate delta updates for Mac OS 10.4.4 (16 MB for PowerPC,
98 MB for Intel), and as a 125 MB combo update for PowerPC-based
Macs that will update any previous version of Mac OS X 10.4. The
delta update via Software Update is only 6.4 MB for PowerPC-based
Macs, while the update for Intel-based Macs is 40 MB. [ACE]

**MacBook Pro Ships at Higher Speeds** -- The MacBook Pro starts
shipping last week with faster processors than promised. Apple
said pre-orders started moving out 14-Feb-06 and will be available
in retail Apple Stores and resellers. However, anecdotal evidence
suggests that Apple's idea of "shipping" referred to the laptops
leaving the factories in Asia, since as of press time it appears
the first orders are due to arrive in customers' hands early
this week.
<http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/>
The 15-inch laptop was originally announced to include a 1.67 GHz
Intel Core Duo processor, but Apple said that the lowest speed
to ship is now 1.83 GHz (the former top speed for this model; see
"Intel-Based iMac and MacBook Pro Ship Earlier than Expected" in
TidBITS-812_ for the machine's full specifications). The higher-
speed standard model now features a 2.0 GHz processor, which can
be reconfigured to have a 2.16 GHz processor for an extra $300 -
that's $300 for a one-twelfth faster processor. The 1.83 GHz
model does not offer the processor speed bump as a build-to-order
option. Apple said that outstanding pre-orders can be tweaked for
faster speeds. (However, if your machine has already shipped that
might be problematic!) [GF]

**iKey 2.2 Adds Double-Key Hotkeys, USB Device Events** -- Script
Software has released iKey 2.2, the latest version of their
automation utility. Most notable among the new features is one
I requested: double-key hotkeys that enable you to invoke a
shortcut that chooses the Save As menu item, for instance, when
you press Command-S-A (that's pressing Command-S, letting up
on the S, and pressing A quickly). This is a brilliant feature
I found utterly addictive in Nisus Writer Classic (it's also
available in a limited fashion in Microsoft Word's internal
keyboard customization, and in QuicKeys X3 from Startly
Technologies), and it makes assigning memorable hotkeys to a
constantly proliferating set of shortcuts far easier. Also new
in iKey 2.2 are USB device events that let you invoke shortcuts
using the various buttons and scroll wheels on USB devices
attached to your Mac (unfortunately, you can't use a USB device
event if you have another USB driver such as USB Overdrive
installed). iKey 2.2 now saves the contents of the clipboard
automatically before invoking certain clipboard commands and
restores those contents afterwards; two new clipboard commands
give you manual control over saving and restoring clipboard
contents. It's easier to attach icons to your shortcuts, floating
menus no longer include system contextual menu items, Apple's
Backup application can now save iKey's settings, iKey warns you
if there's a conflict between any of your hotkeys and system
hotkeys, and a new version of my "Take Control of iKey 2" manual
documents all the changes. iKey 2.2 is a free upgrade for
registered users and new copies cost $30; it's a 4.8 MB download
and is available as a universal binary for users of both PowerPC-
and Intel-based Macs. [ACE]

**El Camino Becomes Real** -- Even though Camino has been in
development and available in one form or another for several
years, the free, open-source Camino Web browser celebrated its
1.0 birth on Valentine's Day (14-Feb-06). With its roots in the
same Mozilla development project that brought us Firefox and
connections to Safari (Camino was originally called Chimera, and
one of the primary Chimera developers went to Apple to work on the
browser that became Safari), Camino offers the fast, lightweight
Gecko rendering engine and a suite of modern browser features that
may make it a prime candidate for your primary browser. Camino 1.0
supports tabbed browsing, pop-up and advertisement blocking, page
security warnings, large picture scaling, a clean downloads
experience, and broad media player support.
<http://www.caminobrowser.org/>
Users who are happy with Safari, Firefox, or another favorite
browser may still want to try Camino for its excellent rendering
speed and integration with Mac OS X. Camino 1.0 is a universal
binary, optimized for use on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. It
requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later, and is available as a standard
download (14.2 MB) or a multilingual download (19.5 MB) that
supports Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (for Brazil or Portugal), Russian,
Slovak, and Swedish. [MHA]
iLife '06 Apps See Bug Fix Updates
----------------------------------
by Adam C. Engst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Apple released updates to five of the six applications that
make up the iLife '06 suite last week, providing bug fixes
and minor enhancements for iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, and
iTunes. Details remain scarce, but Apple claims that iPhoto 6.0.1
(a 13.7 MB download) fixes bugs related to photocasting; viewing
thumbnails in large libraries; and ordering cards, calendars,
and books. iMovie HD 6.0.1 (52.6 MB) resolves problems with the
rendering performance of the Ken Burns Effect, editing performance
with the Scrubber Bar, and image quality in iMovie's themes.
iDVD 6.0.1 (5.3 MB) fixes integration troubles with other iLife
applications, importing of legacy projects, and some theme-related
issues. iWeb 1.0.1 (19.1 MB) addresses issues related to
publishing and blogs. Lastly, iTunes 6.0.3 (18.7 MB) contains
stability and performance improvements over the previous version.
All of the updates reportedly fixed "a number of other minor
issues" as well, and I suspect that those bug fixes may in fact
be the most welcome.
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iphoto601.html>
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imoviehd601.html>
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/idvd601.html>
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb101.html>
<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes603.html>
When I first tried to run these updates, a dialog kept popping up,
telling me to quit iWeb before installing the update. The only
problem was that iWeb was not running, and launching and quitting
it again made no difference. Restarting my Mac and running
Software Update again did solve the problem, but the only reason
it worked is that OmniWeb wasn't running when I tried the update
the second time. I should have remembered instantly, since I'd
seen this problem some months ago when trying to update iTunes:
if there is any running application whose process name contains
the name of an iLife application, the updater will fail in this
manner, since Apple's code isn't very smart about checking names.
So, in the case of iWeb, notice that "OmniWeb" contains "iWeb" and
in the case of iTunes, my problem was caused by the SizzlingKeys
preference pane (which lets you control iTunes from the keyboard
in any application), since its process name is
"SizzlingKeys4iTunes". To determine what application might be
causing the problem, launch Activity Monitor, select All Processes
from the Show pop-up menu, and in the Filter field, type "iWeb".
If you're comfortable at the command line, type the following
line into Terminal:
ps -aux | grep iWeb
Either way, if your search finds anything, quit the offending
application and run the update again.

Two Mac Malware Threats Sighted
-------------------------------
by Mark H. Anbinder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A malicious file uploaded early this week to the MacRumors Forums
site is a Trojan horse designed to fool Mac users into thinking
they'll get to see preview pictures of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard,
the next version of Apple's operating system software. Instead,
the file, named "latestpics.tgz," attempts to send itself to
the user's iChat contacts, and damages applications on the
user's computer. Your computer can't be infected unless you
open the file.
<http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/02/20060216005401.shtml>
Andrew Welch of Ambrosia Software appears to be the first
to post a thorough analysis of the malware, which he dubbed
"Oompa-Loompa," or "OSX/Oomp-A" in the standard taxonomy. Both
Sophos and Symantec appear to be using the name "OSX/Leap-A,"
and both are offering definition downloads.
<http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102379>
Welch says Leap-A appears to try, but fail, to spread itself
through other applications the user launches. The resulting
damage to these applications renders them unusable.
The easiest thing you can do to protect your computer is not
download and open "latestpics.tgz" or any other archive you're
not expecting. If you receive a file via email or instant message
that you're not expecting, even from someone you know, always ask
before opening it. This malware can't spread itself; it relies
on a "social engineering" to trick users into activating it.
(See "Are Input Managers the Work of the Devil?" elsewhere
in this issue for more on the vulnerability that Leap-A is
exploiting.)
If you run anti-virus software, make sure it is set to obtain
updates automatically at least weekly, or check manually
for updates over the next few days. Dan Adinolfi of Cornell
University's IT Security Office has provided the first two
links to Sophos's and Symantec's pages, which offer a growing
set of info about the Trojan horse. Macworld has also posted
a Leap-A FAQ.
<http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/osxleapa.html>
<http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/osx.leap.a.html>
<http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/02/16/leapafaq/>
Shortly after Leap-A made headlines, a second piece of malware
appeared. Inqtana-A is described as a Java-based proof of
concept that takes advantage of an old Bluetooth vulnerability
in Mac OS X. If you've applied the Apple Security Update 2005-006
for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Mac OS X 10.4.1 or the general Mac OS X
10.4.1 release, then your Mac is unaffected by Inqtana-A.
<http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/02/17/inqtana/>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301528>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301742>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301630>
Although both threats are minimal - especially compared to far
more dangerous malware that Microsoft Windows users encounter -
they've served as a reminder to the Mac community that no computer
system is entirely immune to Trojans, worms, and viruses.
Are Input Managers the Work of the Devil?
-----------------------------------------
by Matt Neuburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The recent flap over the Leap-A malware raises the question of
whether Mac OS X is fulfilling its promise as a rock-solid system
with a stable, unmodifiable base (see "Two Mac Malware Threats
Sighted," elsewhere in this issue). The straw man here is Mac OS 9
and earlier systems, on back through System 6. In those days, you
may recall, users could install third-party files called INITs
(or extensions) which loaded during startup and modified the
behavior of the System. A malicious or buggy INIT could easily
destabilize the whole computer or make applications behave in
unexpected ways; this could be troublesome both for users, who
might find the computer behaving mysteriously, and for developers,
whose applications might crash through no fault of their own.
If you can't rely on the System to be the System and nothing but
the System, what can you rely on? Unfortunately many third-party
INITs were really cool and using them was irresistible. People
used to manage the inevitable resulting problems through a mixture
of guesswork and extension managers, but we all knew, as four rows
of INITs marched proudly across the screen during startup, that we
were lucky if the computer worked at all.
<http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102379>
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=05086>
In Mac OS X, on the other hand, there are no INITs, and the system
files are protected by permissions. Thus, in theory, Mac OS X
is much less susceptible to customization than earlier Apple
systems. That may be disappointing (personally, I'd kill for a
Mac OS X version of Menuette!), but the trade-off is the assurance
that there is just one System - once I tell you what version of
Mac OS X I'm running, you know exactly how it behaves in every
fundamental respect.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=05545>
But do you? I sometimes get the feeling that Mac OS X is
just as full of customization holes as earlier systems were.
In fact, Mac OS X may be worse than earlier systems, because
those customization holes are harder to track than INITs were,
and because the feeling of security misleads the user into a
misplaced confidence. In reality, no one has a pristine System,
and keeping the System even somewhat pristine requires constant
vigilance. In an earlier article I talked about the security
concerns represented by the Launch Services architecture and URL
schemes (see "Explaining the URL-Based Mac OS X Vulnerability"
in TidBITS-731_). The Leap-A malware exploits a more insidious
and powerful device, the Input Manager.
<http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=07680>
An Input Manager is, in theory, merely an aspect of text input.
It is through an Input Manager, for example, that Japanese input
is enabled on Mac OS X: effectively, the system watches as you
type or work in the input palette, suspending judgment about the
text being entered until you've supplied enough information, and
thus you can enter characters from a repertoire vastly larger than
the number of keys on a keyboard. Developers can create their own
Input Servers, which embody the functionality of Input Managers
and make themselves available to all applications.
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/InputManager/
Tasks/InputServerDeployment.html>
The trouble is that Input Managers "make themselves available
to all applications" through being injected by the System into
every application as it starts up. Thus an Input Manager is a
general, legal method to modify application behavior. Naturally
it didn't take long for the thought to occur to someone that such
modification need have nothing to do inputting text! Thus, Input
Managers - or, at least, bundles of code installed in a Library's
InputManagers folder - are the basis of many popular hacks,
including StuffIt Deluxe's MagicMenu feature, CocoaGestures, Smart
Crash Reports, certain Growl Extras, PithHelmet (and SIMBL), Saft,
Inquisitor, and many others (as those last examples show, this is
a particularly popular way to hack Safari). And Input Managers lie
at the heart of how Leap-A works.
<http://www.stuffit.com/mac/deluxe/learnmore.html>
<http://www.bitart.com/CocoaGestures.html>
<http://www.unsanity.com/smartcrashreports>
<http://growl.info/documentation/growlsafari.php>
<http://culater.net/software/PithHelmet/PithHelmet.php>
<http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/>
<http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/>
The reason this is such an easy vector for Leap-A to take
advantage of is that no special permissions are required
for an application to install an Input Manager into your
~/Library/InputManagers directory, nor (if your User is an
admin, or if you give an admin password when requested) in
the system-wide /Library/InputManagers. It can thus affect all
subsequently launched applications, forever (or until you notice
the unwanted Input Manager, delete it, and log out). It has been
argued that this architecture represents no greater security
hole than the maliciousness that any application might represent;
after all, if I can get you to download and run my application,
my application can delete everything in your User directory before
you can say Jack Robinson. That's true, but it's also true that
an Input Manager is code that you _don't_ consciously run. It
blindsides you; it's just "there," invisibly, affecting everything
you _do_ run, without your knowing what it does, where it is,
or how it got there. Even in the absence of malice, a badly
written Input Manager installed at a high enough level can
render the computer completely unusable. Gosh, it's just like
in the good old days of System 6, isn't it?
Unfortunately, it would require serious rethinking of the Mac OS X
architecture to put this genie back in the bottle. Surely Apple
has long known that Input Managers might be used maliciously;
to do nothing about this possibility is to hope that they won't
be so used, and hope, while it may spring eternal, is not an
effective security technique. Indeed, something suspiciously
similar to Leap-A was announced as a proof-of-concept for the
malicious use of Input Managers back in July of 2005; one can
hardly be surprised at its present reification. (Even more
suspiciously, the original article has been taken down.)
<http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/
2005-06/0024.html>
Before the identification of Leap-A, a discussion of Input
Managers caught my attention because, embarrassingly, silent
installation of an Input Manager is performed by Path Finder,
an application that I had previously recommended. This
discussion included various suggestions for coping with
unwanted Input Managers, including simply locking down the
InputManagers directories by assigning them prohibitive
permissions. (Already there's an "OompaLocker" AppleScript
available to do exactly that.) Such measures seem extreme,
but the chances that Apple will do anything to stem the spread
of such unwanted silent installations are vanishingly small.
So what's a user to do? What I would ideally like is an
application that would occasionally comb certain key folders
(InputManagers, StartupItems, Extensions - any others?) to see
whether anything has been recently installed there, and perhaps
something that I could run before and after installing any new
piece of software to learn what was installed where. (Yank is
said to be an application of the second type, but I haven't
tried it.) Apart from that, I suppose we'll all just have
to keep muddling along as usual, hoping that Mac OS X is
reasonably safe under most circumstances.
