Descriptions

Messages in Apple iOS before 9.3, OS X before 10.11.4, and watchOS before 2.2 does not properly implement a cryptographic protection mechanism, which allows remote attackers to read message attachments via vectors related to duplicate messages.

Messages en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.3, OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.4 y watchOS en versiones anteriores a 2.2 no implementa correctamente un mecanismo de protección criptográfico, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer contenidos adjuntos de los mensajes a través de vectores relacionados con mensajes duplicados.

OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 and Security Update 2016-002 is now available and addresses code execution, memory corruption, and various other vulnerabilities.
