VAR-201609-0228
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 11:50IOThunderboltFamily in Apple OS X before 10.12 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the IOThunderboltFamily kext. The issue lies in the failure to properly initialize memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges under the context of the kernel. Apple OS X is a set of special operating systems developed by Apple Inc. for Mac computers. IOThunderboltFamily is one of the IO management control components. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, gain sensitive information, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass security restrictions, and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in other attacks. These issues are fixed in: Apple macOS 10.12
