Descriptions

Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple OS X before 10.11.5 allows attackers to obtain sensitive kernel memory-layout information or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) via a crafted app.

Apple Type Services (ATS) en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.5 permite a atacantes obtener información sensible de la estructura de memoria del kernel o causar una denegación de servicio (acceso a memoria fuera de rango) a través de una app manipulada.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the GetUncompressedBitmapRepresentation method. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user.
