VAR-201512-0112

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 21:51

Use-after-free vulnerability in Hypervisor in Apple OS X before 10.11.2 allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving VM objects. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-416: Use-after-free ( Use of freed memory ) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.htmlBy local users VM Depending on the problem with the object, you may be able to get permission. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass security restrictions and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in other attacks. Hypervisor (also known as virtual machine monitor, VMM) is an intermediate software layer running between the physical server and the operating system, which allows multiple operating systems and applications to share a set of underlying physical hardware. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain privileges

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
