Descriptions

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.2.5 is affected. macOS before 10.13.3 is affected. tvOS before 11.2.5 is affected. watchOS before 4.2.2 is affected. The issue involves the "QuartzCore" component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site.

Se ha descubierto un problema en algunos productos Apple. Las versiones de iOS anteriores a la 11.2.5, las versiones de macOS anteriores a la 10.13.3, las versiones de tvOS anteriores a la 11.2.5 y las versiones de watchOS anteriores a la 4.2.2 se han visto afectadas. El problema afecta al componente "QuartzCore". Permite que atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario o provoquen una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) mediante una página web manipulada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple macOS. 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 implementation of the QuartzCore module. The issue results from the lack of proper handling of error conditions prior to indexing into a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
