VAR-202104-0640
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2024-11-23 20:53This issue was addressed by removing the vulnerable code. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave. Processing a maliciously crafted font may lead to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Apple macOS. Interaction with the libFontParser library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.The specific flaw exists within the parsing of TTF fonts. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer underflow before reading from memory. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process. Apple macOS is a set of dedicated operating systems developed by Apple Corporation for Mac computers. There is a security vulnerability in Apple macOS. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of the input provided by the user when the font file is processed in the FontParser component of macOS, so this vulnerability exists. A remote attacker could trick a victim into opening a specially crafted document or web page and execute arbitrary code on the system. Vulnerabilities exist in the following products or versions: macOS 10.14, macOS 10.14.1, macOS 10.14.2, macOS 10.14.3, macOS 10.14.4, macOS 10.14.5, macOS 10.14.6

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
