Descriptions

The kernel in Apple iOS before 8.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.3, and Apple TV before 7.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.

El kernel en Apple iOS anterior a 8.3, Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.3, y Apple TV anterior a 7.2 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de una aplicación manipulada.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within XNU HFS_GETPATH. This does not check the length of an attacker-supplied string before copying it into a fixed length buffer. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
