VAR-201410-1095
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-12 23:05The IOHIDSecurePromptClient function in Apple OS X does not properly validate pointer values, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a crafted web site. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the handling of calls to IOHIDSecurePromptClient. The issue lies in the failure to properly sanitize user-supplied pointers before they are dereferenced. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to crash an instance of OS X. Apple Mac OS X is a set of dedicated operating systems developed by Apple Inc. of the United States for Mac computers. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to crash an application and deny legitimate users
