Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

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.
