The kernel in Apple OS X through 10.9.2 places a kernel pointer into an XNU object data structure accessible from user space, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by reading an unspecified attribute of the object.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is older than 10.9.3, and is thus missing security-related fixes for the following components:

  - CFNetwork HTTPProtocol
  - CoreServicesUIAgent
  - FontParser
  - Heimdal Kerberos
  - ImageIO
  - Intel Graphics Driver
  - IOKit Kernel
  - Kernel
  - Power Management
  - Ruby
  - Security
  - Secure Transport
  - Window Server

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues could result in arbitrary code execution.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 that does not have Security Update 2014-002 applied. This update contains several security-related fixes for the following components :

  - CFNetwork HTTPProtocl
  - CoreServicesUIAgent
  - FontParser
  - Heimdal Kerberos
  - ImageIO
  - Intel Graphics Driver
  - IOKit Kernel
  - Kernel
  - Power Management
  - Ruby
  - Security - Secure Transport
  - Window Server

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues could result in arbitrary code execution.
