Descriptions

The IOHIDFamily API in Apple iOS before 9.2, OS X before 10.11.2, tvOS before 9.1, and watchOS before 2.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-7111.

La API Family 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 atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de una aplicación manipulada, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-7111.

iOS and OS X suffer from a kernel code execution vulnerability via double-delete in IOHIDEventQueue:start due to incorrect error handling.
