An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.5 is affected. The issue involves the "Windows Server" 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 algunos productos Apple. Las versiones de macOS anteriores a la 10.13.5 se han visto afectadas. El problema implica el componente "Windows Server". 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 macOS. 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 WindowServer process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory access past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges under the context of the WindowServer.
