Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions (affected versions not specified) iOS versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the IOAcceleratorFamily component of the operating systems. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted application, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption).

Recommendations For Apple OS X, update to a version that includes a fix for the IOAcceleratorFamily component buffer overflow issue. For iOS, update to a version that includes a fix for the IOAcceleratorFamily component buffer overflow issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IOAcceleratorFamily component until a patch is available.
