Descriptions

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.12.2 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 10.12.2 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 escalate privileges 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 AppleIntelFramebufferAzul. The issue lies with the failure to validate user-supplied arguments which can cause a null pointer dereference. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code under the context of the kernel.
