VAR-201609-0281
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 21:05The File Bookmark component in Apple OS X before 10.12 mishandles scoped-bookmark file descriptors, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted app. 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. These issues are fixed in: Apple macOS 10.12. File Bookmark is one of the file bookmark components. The vulnerability stems from the program's improper handling of scoped-bookmark file descriptors. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability with a specially crafted application to cause a denial of service

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
