Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in IOHIDFamily in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via an application that provides crafted key-mapping properties.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en IOHIDFamily en Apple iOS anterior a 8 y Apple TV anterior a 7 permite a atacantes ejecutar código en un contexto privilegiado a través de una aplicación que provee propiedades manipuladas de asignación de teclas.

A heap overflow in IOHIKeyboardMapper::parseKeyMapping allows kernel memory corruption in Mac OS X before 10.10. By abusing a bug in the IORegistry, kernel pointers can also be leaked, allowing a full kASLR bypass. Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5, and should work on previous versions. The issue has been patched silently in Yosemite.

Heap-based buffer overflow in IOHIDFamily in Apple OS X, which affects, iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context.
