Descriptions

The kernel in Apple iOS before 8.1.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.2, and Apple TV before 7.0.3 does not enforce the read-only attribute of a shared memory segment during use of a custom cache mode, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted app.

El kernel en Apple iOS anterior a 8.1.3, Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2, y Apple TV anterior a 7.0.3 no fuerza el atributo de sólo lectura de un segmento de memoria compartida durante el uso de un modo de caché 'custom', lo que permite a atacantes evadir las restricciones de acceso a través de una aplicación manipulada.

OS X 10.10.2 and Security Update 2015-001 are now available and address information disclosure, arbitrary code execution, cache clearing, integer overflow, and various other vulnerabilities.
