critical Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9621

Synopsis

The version of this Apple TV device is not current and is thus unpatched for multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

Versions of Apple TV earlier than 10.0 are vulnerable to the following issues :

- A flaw exists in libxml2 that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4658)
- A flaw exists in FontParser that is triggered during the handling of a specially crafted font file. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose information in process memory. (CVE-2016-4718)
- An unspecified flaw exists in IOAcceleratorFamily that may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose arbitrary contents of the memory. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4725)
- A flaw exists in IOAcceleratorFamily that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4726)
- A flaw exists in libxslt that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4738)
- A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of a signed disk image. This may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-4753)
- A flaw exists in the kernel that is triggered as the system fails to properly handle locking. This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4772)
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the Kernel that that may allow a local attacker to disclose the contents of memory. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4773)
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the Kernel that that may allow a local attacker to disclose the contents of memory. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4774)
- A flaw exists in the Kernel that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4775)
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the Kernel that that may allow a local attacker to disclose the contents of memory. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4776)
- An untrusted pointer dereference flaw exists in the Kernel that may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-4777)
- A flaw exists in the Kernel that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4778)
