descriptionThe version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 6.3. It is, therefore, affected by the multiple vulnerabilities : - A stack allocation issue in Clang allows an attacker to bypass stack guards. (BID 73987) - An integer overflow issue in the Swift simulator leads to conversions returning unexpected values. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service or to possibly execute arbitrary code.
