An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.2 is affected. The issue involves the "Screen Sharing Server" component. It allows attackers to obtain root privileges for reading files by leveraging screen-sharing access.

The remote host is running a version of macOS that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

 - Apache
 - curl
 - Directory Utility
 - IOAcceleratorFamily
 - IOKit
 - Intel Graphics Driver
 - Kernel
 - Mail
 - Mail Drafts
 - OpenSSL
 - Screen Sharing Server

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

The remote host is running Mac OS X 10.11.6 or Mac OS X 10.12.6 and is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities affecting the following components :

  - apache
  - curl
  - IOAcceleratorFamily
  - IOKit
  - Kernel
  - OpenSSL
  - Screen Sharing Server
