Descriptions

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. Swift before 4.1.1 Security Update 2018-001 is affected. The issue involves the "Swift for Ubuntu" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context because write and execute permissions are enabled during library loading.

Se ha descubierto un problema en algunos productos Apple. Se ha visto afectado Swift en versiones anteriores a la 4.1.1 Security Update 2018-001. El problema implica el componente "Swift for Ubuntu". Permite que los atacantes ejecuten código arbitrario en un contexto privilegiado debido a que los permisos de escritura y ejecución están habilitados durante la carga de bibliotecas.

Security Update 2018-001 Swift 4.1.1 for Ubuntu 14.04 is now available and addresses code execution issues.
