Descriptions

The (1) setreuid and (2) setregid system-call implementations in the kernel in Apple iOS before 8.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.3, and Apple TV before 7.2 do not properly perform privilege drops, which makes it easier for attackers to execute code with unintended user or group privileges via a crafted app.

Las implementaciones de llamadas a sistemas (1) setreuid y (2) setregid en el kernel en Apple iOS anterior a 8.3, Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.3, y Apple TV anterior a 7.2 no realizan correctamente la eliminación de privilegios, lo que facilita a atacantes ejecutar código con privilegios de usuario o grupo no intencionados a través de una aplicación manipulada.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and Security Update 2015-004 are now available and address privilege escalation, code execution, information disclosure, and various other vulnerabilities.
