Summary

The kernel in Apple iOS before 9.3, OS X before 10.11.4, tvOS before 9.2, and watchOS before 2.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-1755.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionAccording to its banner, the remote Apple TV device is a version prior to 9.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - An XML external entity (XXE) expansion flaw exists in libxml2 due to the XML parser accepting entities from untrusted sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service through resource exhaustion. (CVE-2015-1819) - An XML external entity (XXE) injection flaw exists in libxml2 in file parser.c due to the XML parser accepting entities from untrusted sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted XML data, to cause a denial of service or to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-5312) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in libxml2 in the xmlGROW() function within file parser.c while handling XML data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-7499) - An out-of-bounds heap read error exists in libxml2 in the xmlParseMisc() function within file parser.c while handling entity boundaries.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted application, to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-1753) - A memory corruption issue exists in the kernel due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to install a malicious application, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. CVE-2016-1754) - A use-after-free error exists in the AppleKeyStore user client when handling multiple threads, which is triggered when one thread closes the user client while another attempts to call an external method. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to install a malicious application, to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted TTF font, to cause a denial or service or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1775) - A flaw exists in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted website, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1783) - An unspecified flaw exists in the History implementation of WebKit that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted website. (CVE-2016-1784) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in Mozilla Network Security Services due to improper validation of user-supplied input while parsing ASN.1 structures. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted ASN.1 data in an X.509 certificate, to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1950) Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities, and this plugin only checks these models.
