Se abordó una condición de carrera con una comprobación adicional. Este problema es corregido en macOS Big Sur versión 11.2.1, Supplemental Update de macOS Catalina versión 10.15.7, Security Update de macOS Mojave versión 10.14.6 2021-002. 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 locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the kernel.
