Descriptions
Integer overflow in the dtrace implementation in the kernel in Apple OS X before 10.11.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.
Desbordamiento de entero en la implementación dtrace en el kernel en Apple OS X en versiones anteriores a 10.11.5 permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado a través de una app manipulada.
This vulnerability allows local 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 dtrace facility. The issue lies with the failure to validate user-supplied chunk size values which can lead to arbitrary read and write of memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code under the context of the kernel.
