Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS or Mac OS X security update or supplemental update that fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Description

 - An out-of-bounds write issue vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-32787)

 - Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-32812)

 - Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to access of sensitive user information. (CVE-2022-32834)
