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.
