Description
This security bulletin contains information about 19 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44239)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the OS kernel writes kernel state into the log files. A local application can gain access to sensitive kernel information.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44244)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44296)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper checks in WebKit. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and prevent Content Security Policy from being enforced.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44277)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Pro Res. A local application can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44252)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling backup files in MobileBackup. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using a specially crafted backup file and execute arbitrary code on the system.
6) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44258)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue in Managed Configuration. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using a malicious backup file, modify protected system files and compromise the affected system.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44285)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in IOSurface. A local application can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
8) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44255)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when handling shortcuts in App Support. A local application can run arbitrary shortcuts without user consent.
9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44297)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing files in ImageIO. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted Office document, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44215)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in ImageIO. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
11) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44282)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in Foundation. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44302)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in CoreText. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
13) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44240)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in CoreText. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
14) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44273)
The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue in CoreMedia Playback. A local application can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.
15) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44232)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in AppleAVD when handling media files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted media file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44233)
