HIGH Summary
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2.1 is affected. macOS before 10.12.3 is affected. tvOS before 10.1.1 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted app.
Vulnerable Configurations
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.

NASL family Misc. NASL id APPLETV_10_1_1.NASL description According to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 10.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A stack-based buffer overflow condition exists in libarchive in the bsdtar_expand_char() function within file util.c due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted archive, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-8687) - A prototype access flaw exists in WebKit when handling exceptions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to disclose cross-origin data. (CVE-2017-2350) - A type confusion error exists in WebKit when handling SearchInputType objects due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2354) - An unspecified memory initialization flaw exists in WebKit that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2355) - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted web content, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2356, CVE-2017-2362, CVE-2017-2369, CVE-2017-2373) - A use-after-free error exists in the host_self_trap mach trap. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to dereference already freed memory and thereby execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2017-2360) - A flaw exists in WebKit when handling page loading due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to disclose cross-origin data. (CVE-2017-2363) - A flaw exists in WebKit when handling variables due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to disclose cross-origin data. (CVE-2017-2365) - A heap buffer overflow condition exists in the mach_voucher_extract_attr_recipe_trap() function due to improper validation of certain unspecified input. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2017-2370) Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 96877 published 2017-01-30 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2017-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/96877 title Apple TV < 10.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(96877); script_version("1.7"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/11/13"); script_cve_id( "CVE-2016-8687", "CVE-2017-2350", "CVE-2017-2354", "CVE-2017-2355", "CVE-2017-2356", "CVE-2017-2360", "CVE-2017-2362", "CVE-2017-2363", "CVE-2017-2365", "CVE-2017-2369", "CVE-2017-2370", "CVE-2017-2373" ); script_bugtraq_id( 93781, 95727, 95728, 95729, 95731, 95736 ); script_xref(name:"APPLE-SA", value:"APPLE-SA-2017-01-23-4"); script_name(english:"Apple TV < 10.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities"); script_summary(english:"Checks the build number."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Apple TV device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities."); script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value: "According to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 10.1.1.
