Descriptions
The kernel in Apple iOS before 9.1 and OS X before 10.11.1 mishandles reuse of virtual memory, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted app.
El kernel en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.1 y OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.1 no maneja correctamente la reutilización de la memoria virtual, lo que permite a atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio a través de una aplicación manipulada.
iOS 9.1 is now available and addresses arbitrary code execution, cookies being overwritten, heap based buffer overflow, and various other vulnerabilities.
