critical Nessus Plugin ID 90309

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the remote Apple TV device is a version prior to 9.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An XML external entity (XXE) expansion flaw exists in libxml2 due to the XML parser accepting entities from untrusted sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service through resource exhaustion.
(CVE-2015-1819)

- An XML external entity (XXE) injection flaw exists in libxml2 in file parser.c due to the XML parser accepting entities from untrusted sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service or to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-5312)

- A heap buffer overflow condition exists in libxml2 in the xmlGROW() function within file parser.c while handling XML data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information.
(CVE-2015-7499)

- An out-of-bounds heap read error exists in libxml2 in the xmlParseMisc() function within file parser.c while handling entity boundaries. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-7500)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in libxml2 in the xmlParseConditionalSections() function within file parser.c due to a failure to properly skip intermediary entities when it stops parsing invalid input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-7942)

- A flaw exists in libxml2 in the xz_decomp() function within file xzlib.c due to a failure to properly detect compression errors when handling compressed XML content.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-8035)

- A out-of-bounds read error exists in libxml2 in the xmlSAX2TextNode() function within file SAX2.c due to improper sanitization of input data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service or to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-8242)

- A use-after-free error exists in Nghttp2 within file lib/nghttp2_session.c when handling idle streams. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to deference already freed memory, allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8659)

- An overflow condition exists in the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver due to improper validation of data while handling SSID or WPS_ID_DEVICE_NAME values. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, via a crafted wireless control message packet, to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0801)

- An overflow condition exists in the Broadcom Wi-Fi driver due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling the packet length of event messages.
An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, via a crafted wireless control message packet, to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-0802)

- A flaw exists in FontParser due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling encoded fonts that contain invalid characters. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted PDF document, to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1740)

- A flaw exists in IOHIDFamily due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to gain access to kernel memory layout information.
(CVE-2016-1748)

- A use-after-free error exists in the kernel that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted application. (CVE-2016-1750)

- A flaw exists in the kernel due to a failure to properly restrict execution permissions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to bypass code-signing protection mechanisms. (CVE-2016-1751)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the kernel that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted application. (CVE-2016-1752)

- An integer overflow condition exists in the kernel due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to gain elevated privileges.
(CVE-2016-1753)

- A memory corruption issue exists in the kernel due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to install a malicious application, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
CVE-2016-1754)

- A use-after-free error exists in the AppleKeyStore user client when handling multiple threads, which is triggered when one thread closes the user client while another attempts to call an external method. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to install a malicious application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
(CVE-2016-1755)

- A flaw exists in libxml2 due to improper validation of user-supplied input while handling XML content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted XML document, to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1762)

- An out-of-bounds write error exists in TrueTypeScaler due to improper validation of user-supplied input while handling bdat tables in TTF fonts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted TTF font, to cause a denial or service or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1775)

- A flaw exists in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted website, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-1783)

- An unspecified flaw exists in the History implementation of WebKit that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted website. (CVE-2016-1784)

- A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Mozilla Network Security Services due to improper validation of user-supplied input while parsing ASN.1 structures. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted ASN.1 data in an X.509 certificate, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-1950)

Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities, and this plugin only checks these models.
