Descriptions

The NTFS implementation in Apple OS X before 10.10.4 allows attackers to obtain sensitive memory-layout information for the kernel via a crafted app.

La implementación NTFS en Apple OS X anterior a 10.10.4 permite a atacantes obtener información sensible de la estructura de la memoria para el kernel a través de una aplicación manipulada.

This vulnerability allows remote 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 open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of NTFS file systems. The issue lies in the handling of compressed blocks. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to leak the sensitive contents of physical memory.
