Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. (CVE-2023-42916)

 - A memory corruption vulnerability was addressed with improved locking. (CVE-2023-42917)

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

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 14.1.2 or later.
