Descriptions

coresymbolicationd in CoreSymbolication in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not verify that expected data types are present in XPC messages, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app, as demonstrated by lack of verification of xpc_dictionary_get_value API return values during handling of a (1) match_mmap_archives, (2) delete_mmap_archives, (3) write_mmap_archive, or (4) read_mmap_archive command.

coresymbolicationd en CoreSymbolication en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no verifica que los tipos de datos esperados están presentes en los mensajes XPC, lo que permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado a través de una aplicación manipulada, tal y como fue demostrado mediante la falta de verificación de valores de retorno de la API xpc_dictionary_get_value durante el manejo de un comando (1) match_mmap_archives, (2) delete_mmap_archives, (3) write_mmap_archive, o (4) read_mmap_archive.
