Descriptions

An out-of-bounds read issue was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in Security Update 2022-004 Catalina, macOS Monterey 12.4, macOS Big Sur 11.6.6. Processing a maliciously crafted AppleScript binary may result in unexpected application termination or disclosure of process memory.

Se abordó un problema de lectura fuera de límites con una comprobación de entrada mejorada. Este problema es corregido en Security Update 2022-004 Catalina, macOS Monterey versión 12.4, macOS Big Sur versión 11.6.6. El procesamiento de un binario AppleScript diseñado de forma maliciosa puede resultar en una finalización no esperada de la aplicación o la revelación de la memoria del proceso

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apple macOS. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the AppleScript framework. Crafted data in a SCPT file can trigger a read past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
