Descriptions
The xpc_data_get_bytes function in libxpc in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not verify that a dictionary's Attributes key has the xpc_data data type, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted dictionary to sysmond, related to an "XPC type confusion" issue.
La función xpc_data_get_bytes en libxpc en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.2 no verifica que la clave de atributos de un diccionario tiene el tipo de datos xpc_data, lo que permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario mediante la entrga de un diccionario manipulado a sysmond, relacionado con un problema de 'confusión de tipos de XPC'.
OS X suffers from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to XPC type confusion in sysmond.
