NASL family Misc. NASL id APPLETV_9_2_2.NASL description According to its banner, the version of the remote Apple TV device is prior to 9.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - CoreGraphics - ImageIO - IOAcceleratorFamily - IOHIDFamily - Kernel - libxml2 - libxslt - Sandbox Profiles - WebKit - WebKit Page Loading Note that only 4th generation models are affected by the vulnerabilities. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 92494 published 2016-07-21 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2016-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/92494 title Apple TV < 9.2.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities NASL family Windows NASL id ITUNES_12_4_2.NASL description The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 12.4.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the libxslt component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1684, CVE-2016-4607, CVE-2016-4608, CVE-2016-4609, CVE-2016-4610, CVE-2016-4612) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the libxml2 component that allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
