VAR-201510-0086
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 11:12The filtering implementation in AppleEvents in Apple OS X before 10.11 mishandles attempts to send events to a different user, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a screen-sharing connection. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with system privileges, gain admin privileges, bypass security restrictions, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass the authentication mechanism, obtain sensitive information, and perform other attacks. These issues affect OS X prior to 10.11. AppleEvents is one of the live video components. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the program does not properly restrict sending events to other users
