Apple · Apple Macos · CVE-2017-7032
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
macOS versions prior to 10.12.6
**Description**
The issue involves the `kext tools` component and allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app. This is caused by a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to achieve the same results.
**Recommendations**
For macOS versions prior to 10.12.6, update to version 10.12.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `kext tools` component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
