Apple TV < 5.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

low Nessus Plugin ID 64456

Synopsis

The remote device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the remote Apple TV 2nd generation or later device is prior to 5.2. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by several vulnerabilities :

- Failure to properly validate that the user-mode pointer and length passed to the copyin and copyout functions could allow a user-mode process to directly access kernel memory if the length is smaller than one page.
(CVE-2013-0964)

- An out-of-bounds read error in the Broadcom BCM4325 / BCM4329 firmware could allow a remote attacker on the same Wi-Fi network to cause an unexpected system termination by sending a specially crafted RSN (802.11i) information element. (CVE-2012-2619)

Solution

Upgrade to Apple TV 5.2 or later.
