A type confusion issue was addressed with improved state handling. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.8 and iPadOS 14.8, macOS Big Sur 11.6, Security Update 2021-005 Catalina. A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 14.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is prior to Catalina Security Update 2021-005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - Arbitrary code execution when processing a maliciously crafted image. (CVE-2021-30835, CVE-2021-30847)

  - An integer overflow issue due to insufficient input validation, which can lead to arbitrary code     execution by an unauthenticated attacker when processing a maliciously crafted PDF. (CVE-2021-30860)

  - Arbitrary code execution when processing a maliciously crafted dfont file. (CVE-2021-30841,     CVE-2021-30842, CVE-2021-30843)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 11.x prior to 11.6 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  - A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2021-30858)

  - An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2021-30860)

  - Insufficient checks when processing maliciously crafted dfont files may lead to arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2021-30841, CVE-2021-30842, CVE-2021-30843)
