The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, macOS Tahoe 26.1. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.8.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A race condition was addressed with improved handling of symbolic links. This issue is fixed in macOS     Tahoe 26.3, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, iOS 18.7.5 and iPadOS 18.7.5, visionOS 26.3, iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3. A     shortcut may be able to bypass sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2026-20677)

  - An out-of-bounds access issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in macOS     Tahoe 26, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2. Processing a maliciously crafted media file may lead to unexpected app     termination or corrupt process memory. (CVE-2025-43338)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.1. An app may     be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory. (CVE-2025-43402)

  - An authorization issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia     15.7.4, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4. An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-43403)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 15.x prior to 15.7.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in watchOS 26.3, macOS Tahoe 26.3,     macOS Sonoma 14.8.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3. An app may be able to break out of     its sandbox. (CVE-2026-20667)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.1. An app may     be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt process memory. (CVE-2025-43402)

  - An authorization issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia     15.7.4, macOS Sonoma 14.8.4. An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-43403)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues were addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in     watchOS 26.2, iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2, macOS Tahoe 26.2, visionOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2. A malicious HID device     may cause an unexpected process crash. (CVE-2025-43533)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, macOS     Sonoma 14.8.4. A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial-of-service. (CVE-2025-46290)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 26.x prior to 26.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved lock state checking. This issue is fixed in iOS     18.7.2 and iPadOS 18.7.2, iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, macOS Tahoe     26.1, tvOS 26.1, visionOS 26.1, watchOS 26.1. A malicious application may cause unexpected changes in     memory shared between processes. (CVE-2025-43510)

  - Sudo before 1.9.17p1, when used with a sudoers file that specifies a host that is neither the current host     nor ALL, allows listed users to execute commands on unintended machines. (CVE-2025-32462)

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.6 has a DoS vulnerability when it parses an XML     that has many deep elements that have same local name attributes. If you need to parse untrusted XMLs with     tree parser API like REXML::Document.new, you may be impacted to this vulnerability. If you use other     parser APIs such as stream parser API and SAX2 parser API, this vulnerability is not affected. The REXML     gem 3.3.6 or later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-43398)

  - REXML is an XML toolkit for Ruby. The REXML gem before 3.3.9 has a ReDoS vulnerability when it parses an     XML that has many digits between &# and x...; in a hex numeric character reference (&#x...;). This does     not happen with Ruby 3.2 or later. Ruby 3.1 is the only affected maintained Ruby. The REXML gem 3.3.9 or     later include the patch to fix the vulnerability. (CVE-2024-49761)

  - A permissions issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in iPadOS 17.7.6, macOS     Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Sonoma 14.8.2, macOS Tahoe 26.1, macOS     Ventura 13.7.5.
