high Nessus Plugin ID 105080

Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes multiple security vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

 - apache
 - curl
 - Directory Utility
 - IOAcceleratorFamily
 - IOKit
 - Intel Graphics Driver
 - Kernel
 - Mail
 - Mail Drafts
 - OpenSSL
 - Screen Sharing Server

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to macOS version 10.13.2 or later.
