VAR-201607-0301
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 22:41CFNetwork in Apple OS X before 10.11.6 uses weak permissions for web-browser cookies, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, gain sensitive information, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass security restrictions, and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in other attacks. Apple Mac OS X 10.9.5, 10.10.5 and 10.11 through 10.11.5 are vulnerable. CFNetwork is a low-level, high-performance framework, an extension of BSD sockets (sockets), which enables users to flexibly manipulate the protocol stack, and provides standardized abstract APIs to simplify FTP HTTP server interaction tasks, resolve DNS host resolution, etc. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information
