Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions prior to 10.10.5

Description The issue is related to a component called UDF in the operating system, which has inadequate access control to files. This can be exploited by a local attacker using a malformed DMG image, potentially leading to privilege escalation or a denial of service, causing memory corruption and application crashes.

Recommendations For Apple OS X versions prior to 10.10.5, update to version 10.10.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of malformed DMG images to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict local access to the system to prevent potential attackers from exploiting the vulnerability.
