Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS security update.

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.14.x prior to 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-007 Mojave, 10.15.x prior to 10.15.7 Security Update 2020-001 Catalina, or 11.x prior to 11.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

 - Processing a maliciously crafted audio file may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-9960, CVE-2020-10017, CVE-2020-27908, CVE-2020-27910, CVE-2020-27916, CVE-2020-27948)

 - Processing a maliciously crafted image may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-9962, CVE-2020-27912, CVE-2020-27919, CVE-2020-27923, CVE-2020-27924, CVE-2020-29611, CVE-2020-29616, CVE-2020-29618)

 - Processing a maliciously crafted font file may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-9956, CVE-2020-27922, CVE-2020-27931, CVE-2020-27943, CVE-2020-27944, CVE-2020-27952)

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

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 10.14.6 Security Update 2020-007 / 10.15.7 Security Update 2020-001 / macOS 11.1 or later.
