Descriptions

The kernel in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not properly validate IODataQueue object metadata fields, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.

El kernel en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no valida correctamente los campos de metadatos de objetos IODataQueue, lo que permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado 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.
