Summary

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.4 is affected. macOS before 10.13.5 is affected. tvOS before 11.4 is affected. watchOS before 4.3.1 is affected. The issue involves pktmnglr_ipfilter_input in com.apple.packet-mangler in the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (integer overflow and stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted app.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Forced Integer Overflow
    This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

    descriptionAccording to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 11.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as described in the HT208850 security advisory. Note that only 4th and 5th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities.
