Summary

CoreGraphics in Apple OS X before 10.11.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and consequently gain privileges, or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read), via unspecified vectors.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

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.
