Descriptions

Apple Mac EFI before 2015-001, as used in OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, does not properly set refresh rates for DDR3 RAM, which might make it easier for remote attackers to conduct row-hammer attacks, and consequently gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption), by triggering certain patterns of access to memory locations.

Apple Mac EFI anterior a 2015-001, utilizado en OS X anterior a 10.10.4 y otros productos, no configura correctamente los indices actualizados para DDR3 RAM, lo que podría facilitar a atacantes remotos realizar ataques 'row-hammer', y como consecuencia gnar privilegios o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria), mediante la provocación de ciertas pautas de acceso a localizaciones de memoria.

OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 and Security Update 2015-005 are now available and address privilege escalation, arbitrary code execution, access bypass, and various other vulnerabilities.
