macOS 11.x < 11.3 (HT212325)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 149041

Language:

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 11.x prior to 11.3 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

 - A memory corruption issue which could allow an application restricted memory read access (CVE-2021-1808).

 - A memory corruption issue which could allow an application to cause unexpected system termination or to write kernel memory (CVE-2021-1828).

 - An out-of-bounds wirte issue which could allow a malicious application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges (CVE-2021-1834).

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 11.3 or later.
