An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves the "Audio" component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted audio file.

Se ha descubierto un problema en ciertos productos Apple. iOS en versiones anteriores a 10.3 está afectado. macOS en versiones anteriores a 10.12.4 está afectado. tvOS en versiones anteriores a 10.2 está afectado. watchOS en versiones anteriores a 3.2 está afectado. El problema involucra al componente "Audio". Esto permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) a través de un archivo de audio manipulado.

This vulnerability allows remote 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 handling of M4A files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to achieve remote code execution under the context of the current user.
