Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions macOS versions prior to 10.12.2

Description The issue is related to a type confusion problem in the Bluetooth component of the operating system, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service. This can be achieved via a specially crafted application.

Recommendations For macOS versions prior to 10.12.2, update to version 10.12.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Bluetooth functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Bluetooth component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the Bluetooth component in sensitive operations until the issue is resolved.
