descriptionThe remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.11.x prior to 10.11.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components : - apache_mod_php - Audio - bsdiff - CFNetwork - CoreGraphics - FaceTime - Graphics Drivers - ImageIO - Intel Graphics Driver - IOHIDFamily - IOKit - IOSurface - Kernel - libc++abi - libexpat - LibreSSL - libxml2 - libxslt - Login Window - OpenSSL - QuickTime - Safari Login AutoFill - Sandbox Profiles Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
