Descriptions
A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Mojave 10.14.6. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.
Un problema de corrupción de memoria fue abordado mejorando el manejo de la memoria. Este problema es corregido en macOS Mojave versión 10.14.6. Una aplicación puede ejecutar código arbitrario con privilegios system.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Apple macOS. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the diskmanagementd daemon. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
