VAR-201501-0272
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 22:39The xpc_data_get_bytes function in libxpc in Apple OS X before 10.10.2 does not verify that a dictionary's Attributes key has the xpc_data data type, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted dictionary to sysmond, related to an "XPC type confusion" issue. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-19: Data Handling ( Data processing ) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/19.htmlBy the attacker, sysmond By providing a crafted dictionary, arbitrary code could be executed. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. The update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Bluetooth, CPU Software, CommerceKit Framework, CoreGraphics, CoreSymbolication, Intel Graphics Driver, IOHIDFamily, IOUSBFamily, Kernel, LaunchServices, LoginWindow, Sandbox, SceneKit, security, security_taskgate, Spotlight, SpotlightIndex, sysmond, and UserAccountUpdater components. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, gain unauthorized access, bypass security restrictions, disclose sensitive information and perform other attacks. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect OS X prior to 10.10.2
