  - An issue in the handling of URL protocols was addressed with improved logic. This issue is fixed in tvOS     17.6, visionOS 1.3, Safari 17.6, watchOS 10.6, iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6, macOS Sonoma 14.6. A user may be     able to bypass some web content restrictions. (CVE-2024-44206)

  - Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 124.0.6367.155 allowed a remote attacker to potentially     exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2024-4558)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A race condition in sshd affecting versions between 8.5p1 and 9.7p1 (inclusive) may allow arbitrary code     execution with root privileges. Successful exploitation has been demonstrated on 32-bit Linux/glibc     systems with ASLR. According to OpenSSH, the attack has been tested under lab conditions and requires on     average 6-8 hours of continuous connections up to the maximum the server will accept. Exploitation on     64-bit systems is believed to be possible but has not been demonstrated at this time.  (CVE-2024-6387)

  - A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition     which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be     able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period. (CVE-2024-6387)

  - Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 124.0.6367.155 allowed a remote attacker to potentially     exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2024-4558)

  - A race condition was addressed with improved locking. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.3. An app     may bypass Gatekeeper checks. (CVE-2023-27952)

  - Faulty input validation in the core of Apache allows malicious or exploitable backend/content generators     to split HTTP responses. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.58. (CVE-2023-38709)

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

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 17.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
