Se abordó un problema de escritura fuera de límites con una comprobación de límites mejorada . Este problema se corrigió en macOS Big Sur versión 11.3, Security Update 2021-002 Catalina y Security Update 2021-003 Mojave. Una aplicación maliciosa puede ser capaz de ejecutar código arbitrario con privilegios del 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 handling of IOCTL 0x30002 in 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 arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
