Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.6 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Flaws with handling memory in the kernel. As a result, an app can be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges or disclose kernel memory. (CVE-2022-32911, CVE-2022-32864)

 - Incorrect bounds checks in the kernel. As a result, an app can execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-32917)

 - A logic issue in the Maps app. As a result an app can read sensitive location information.
 (CVE-2022-32883)

 - A flaw in the iMovie runtime. As a result a user can view sensitive information. (CVE-2022-32896)

 - A logic issue in the ATS component. As a result an app can bypass privacy preferences. (CVE-2022-32900)

 - A logic issue in PackageKit. As a result an app can gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-32900)

 - A memory corruption issue in the MediaLibrary component. As a result a user can elevate privileges.
 (CVE-2022-32908)

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 12.6 or later.
