New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it is different from CVSS.

Synopsis
The remote host contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 12.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the expat component, the most severe of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2009-3270, CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720, CVE-2012-1147, CVE-2012-1148, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300)
- Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the SQLite component, the most severe of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2013-7443, CVE-2015-3414, CVE-2015-3415, CVE-2015-3416, CVE-2015-3717, CVE-2015-6607, CVE-2016-6153)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to iTunes version 12.6 or later.See Also
