Descriptions

The Mach kernel, as used in operating systems including (1) Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.7 and (2) OpenStep before 4.2, allows local users to gain privileges via a parent process that forces an exception in a setuid child and uses Mach exception ports to modify the child's thread context and task address space in a way that causes the child to call a parent-controlled function.

El núcleo Mach, usado en sistemas operativos que incluyen (1) Mac OS X 10.4 hata 10.4.7 y (2) OpenStep anterior a 4.2, permite a usuarios locales escalar privilegios mediante un proceso padre que fuerza una excepción en un hijo con setuid activado y usa puertos de excepción de Mach para modificar el contexto de hilo y el espacio de dierccionamiento de tarea del hijo de forma que provoca que el hijo llame a una función controlada por el padre.
