Descriptions

IOKit in Apple iOS before 7.1.1, Apple OS X through 10.9.2, and Apple TV before 6.1.1 places kernel pointers into an object data structure, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by reading unspecified attributes of the object.

IOKit en Apple iOS anterior a 7.1.1, Apple OS X hasta 10.9.2 y Apple TV anterior a 6.1.1 coloca punteros de kernel dentro de una estructura de datos de objeto, lo que facilita a usuarios locales evadir el mecanismo de protección ASLR mediante la lectura de atributos no especificados del objeto.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within IOKit. The issue lies in the storage of kernel pointers in an object's data structure that could be retrieved from userland. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to leak kernel pointers.
