Descriptions

The NVIDIA driver in the Graphics Drivers subsystem in Apple OS X before 10.11.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7019.

El controlador NVIDIA en el subsistema Graphics Drivers en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.1 permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible de la memoria del kernel o provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de los límites y caída del sistema) a través de vectores no especificados, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-7019.

OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 and Security Update 2015-007 are now available and address memory corruption, code execution, and various other vulnerabilities.
