Mac OS X 10.x < 10.12.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700119
Synopsis
The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is affected by multiple attack vectors.
Description
The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X version 10.x prior to 10.12.5, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- An overflow condition exists in the '_XGetWindowMovementGroup()' function within the WindowServer component that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of WindowServer.
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Intel graphics driver. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges.
- An unspecified flaw exists in the NVIDIA graphics drivers. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges.
- A flaw exists in the speechsynthesisd service, as unsigned dynamic libraries (.dylib) are improperly validated before being loaded. This may allow a local attacker to bypass an application's sandbox and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Speech Framework. This may allow an attacker to escape an application sandbox.
- A certificate validation flaw exists in 802.1X authentication that is triggered in EAP-TLS when a certificate has changed. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose user network credentials.
- A type confusion flaw exists in SQLite that is triggered as certain input related to 'snippet' is not properly validated. With specially crafted web content, a context-dependent attacker can corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
