Descriptions

The kernel in Apple iOS before 9.2, OS X before 10.11.2, tvOS before 9.1, and watchOS before 2.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted mach message that is misparsed.

El kernel en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.2, OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.2, tvOS en versiones anteriores a 9.1 y watchOS en versiones anteriores a 2.1 permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de un mensaje mach manipulado que no analiza correctamente la gramática.

The mach voucher subsystem fails to correctly handle spoofed no-more-senders messages. ipc_kobject_server will be called for mach messages sent to kernel-owned mach ports. If the msgh_id of the message can't be found in the mig_buckets hash table then this function calls ipc_kobject_notify. Note that this is the same code path which would be taken for a real no-more-senders notification message but there's nothing stopping user-space from also just sending one.
