descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.11.x prior to 10.11.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - apache_mod_php - AppleRAID - AppleUSBNetworking - Bluetooth - Carbon - dyld - FontParser - HTTPProtocol - Intel Graphics Driver - IOFireWireFamily - IOGraphics - IOHIDFamily - IOUSBFamily - Kernel - libxml2 - Messages - NVIDIA Graphics Drivers - OpenSSH - OpenSSL - Python - QuickTime - Reminders - Ruby - Security - Tcl - TrueTypeScaler - Wi-Fi Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
