Apple iPhone 3GS bootrom malloc implementation returns a non-NULL pointer when unable to allocate memory, aka 'alloc8'. An attacker with physical access to the device can install arbitrary firmware.
A validation issue existed in the handling of symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved validation of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Mojave 10.14.5. A local user may be able to load unsigned kernel extensions.
Race condition in the initialization routine in blued in Bluetooth in Apple Mac OS X before 10.7.4 allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving a temporary file.
Intel Graphics Driver in Apple OS X before 10.11.6 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.
The IOAcceleratorFamily2 interface in IOAcceleratorFamily in Apple OS X before 10.11.3 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.
A vulnerability in the shared library loading mechanism of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Linux and Mac OS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a shared library hijacking attack on an affected device if the VPN Posture (HostScan) Module is installed on the AnyConnect client. This vulnerability is due to a race condition in the signature verification process for shared library files that are loaded on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted interprocess communication (IPC) messages to the AnyConnect process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device with root privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have a valid account on the system.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.343 and 19.x through 21.x before 21.0.0.213 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.616 on Linux allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse resource in an unspecified directory.
Race condition in the mounting process in vmware-mount in VMware Workstation 7.x before 7.1.2 build 301548 on Linux, VMware Player 3.1.x before 3.1.2 build 301548 on Linux, VMware Server 2.0.2 on Linux, and VMware Fusion 3.1.x before 3.1.2 build 332101 allows host OS users to gain privileges via vectors involving temporary files.
Adobe Genuine Services version 7.1 (and earlier) is affected by an Insecure file permission vulnerability during installation process. A local authenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve privilege escalation in the context of the current user.
A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.6.2, tvOS 15.2, macOS Monterey 12.1, Security Update 2021-008 Catalina, iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2, watchOS 8.3. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
Apple Mac OS X does not properly warn the user before enabling additional Human Interface Device (HID) functionality over USB, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary programs via crafted USB data, as demonstrated by keyboard and mouse data sent by malware on a smartphone that the user connected to the computer.
Race condition in kext tools in Apple OS X before 10.10.4 allows local users to bypass intended signature requirements for kernel extensions by leveraging improper pathname validation.
The Audio Drivers subsystem in Apple iOS before 8.3 and Apple TV before 7.2 does not properly validate IOKit object metadata, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.
The kernel in Apple iOS before 8.3, Apple OS X before 10.10.3, and Apple TV before 7.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.
The __sflush function in fflush.c in stdio in libc in FreeBSD 10.1 and the kernel in Apple iOS before 9 mishandles failures of the write system call, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a crafted application.
A race condition was addressed with improved locking. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave, watchOS 7.3, tvOS 14.4, iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4. A malicious application may be able to elevate privileges. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited..
A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Catalina 10.15.6. A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.
