high Nessus Plugin ID 243002

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 14.7.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A flaw was found in the libxslt library. The same memory field, psvi, is used for both stylesheet and input data, which can lead to type confusion during XML transformations. This vulnerability allows an attacker to crash the application or corrupt memory. In some cases, it may lead to denial of service or unexpected behavior. (CVE-2025-7424)

- An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation.
