Se ha descubierto un problema en algunos productos Apple. Las versiones de iOS anteriores a la 11.2, las versiones de macOS anteriores a la 10.13.2, las versiones de tvOS anteriores a la 11.2 y las versiones de watchOS anteriores a la 4.2 se han visto afectadas. El problema afecta al componente "IOKit". Permite a los atacantes ejecutar código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) mediante una app manipulada.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple iOS. 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 backboardd service. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code under the context of root.
