Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The kernel in Apple OS X through 10.9.2 places a kernel pointer into an XNU object data structure accessible from user space, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by reading an unspecified attribute of the object.
