VAR-201609-0262
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 11:07Apple HSSPI Support 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. 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 AppleHSSPIHIDDriver kext. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges under the context of the kernel. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. 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. Apple HSSPI Support is one of the components used to support HSSPI
