VAR-201901-1589
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2024-02-13 20:42In iOS before 11.4 and macOS High Sierra before 10.13.5, a memory corruption issue exists and was addressed with improved memory handling. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple macOS. 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 handling of Mach messages to the Dock. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the client prior to spawning a process. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code within the context of the current user. Both Apple iOS and macOS High Sierra are products of Apple Inc. in the United States. Apple iOS is an operating system developed for mobile devices; macOS High Sierra is a dedicated operating system developed for Mac computers. libxpc is an open source implementation of one of the Apple XPC libraries
