Descriptions

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.12 is affected. The issue involves the "Intel Graphics Driver" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.

Se ha descubierto un problema en ciertos productos Apple. macOS en versiones anteriores a 10.12 está afectado. El problema involucra al componente "Intel Graphics Driver". Esto permite a atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) a través de una aplicación manipulada.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the IntelHD5000 kext. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate the existence of an object prior to performing operations on it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges under the context of the kernel.
