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 macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.14.x prior to 10.14.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the following components: - AppleKeyStore - Bluetooth - Core Media - CoreAnimation - FaceTime - IOKit - Kernel - libxpc - Natural Language Processing - QuartzCore - SQLite - WebRTC Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.
