VAR-201306-0313
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 20:31The get_xattrinfo function in the XNU kernel in Apple iOS 5.x and 6.x through 6.1.3 on iPad devices does not properly validate the header of an AppleDouble file, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via an invalid file on an msdosfs filesystem. Apple iOS is prone to a local memory-corruption vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Apple iOS 5.x and 6.x through 6.1.3 are vulnerable. Apple iOS is an operating system developed by Apple (Apple) for mobile devices
