Summary:

Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 does not use an HTTPS connection to retrieve Apple Help content from a web site, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to send a crafted help:runscript link, and thereby execute arbitrary code, via a spoofed response.
Per: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3937

*

Help Viewer

CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2808

Available for: Mac OS X v10.5.8, Mac OS X Server v10.5.8, Mac OS X v10.6 and v10.6.1, Mac OS X Server v10.6 and v10.6.1

Impact: Using Help Viewer on an untrusted network may result in arbitrary code execution
