Apple · Apple Macos · CVE-2019-8635
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
macOS versions prior to 10.14.5
**Description**
A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling, allowing an application to potentially execute arbitrary code with system privileges. The issue is related to a double free privilege escalation vulnerability in the AMDRadeonX4000 AMDSIGLContext, specifically with the discard StretchTex2Tex function.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 10.14.5, update to macOS Mojave 10.14.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AMDRadeonX4000 AMDSIGLContext module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
