Se abordó un problema de corrupción de memoria con una comprobación de la entrada mejorada. Este problema es corregido en macOS Big Sur versión 11.1, Security Update 2020-001 Catalina, Security Update 2020-007 Mojave. Una aplicación puede ser capaz de ejecutar código arbitrario con privilegios de kernel.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected 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 AppleIntelKBLGraphics kext. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
