An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.1 is affected. macOS before 10.12.1 is affected. tvOS before 10.0.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "FontParser" component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted font.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.10.5 or 10.11.6 that is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     LibreSSL component due to a flaw in the ECDSA     implementation that is triggered when not properly     setting a flag in ECDSA signing nonces to indicate that     only constant-time code paths should be followed. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     conduct side-channel cache-timing attacks, allowing the     attacker to recover the  modular inversion state     sequences and the ECDSA private keys. Note that this     vulnerability does not affect Mac OS X 10.10.5.
    (CVE-2016-7056)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the ImageIO     component due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted     JPEG file, to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2432)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the libxslt     component that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker     to cause a denial of service condition or the execution     of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2477)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the libxslt     component in the xsltAddTextString() function in     transform.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially     crafted file, to cause an out-of-bounds write,     potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5029)
