The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 11.x prior to 11.6.6 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  • A logic issue in AppKit that may allow a malicious application to gain root privileges. (CVE-2022-22665)

  • A logic issue in Apache HTTP Server where it fails to close an inbound connection when errors are encountered discarding the request body, exposing the server to HTTP Request Smuggling. (CVE-2022-22720)

  • A buffer overflow issue in the mod_lua component of Apache HTTP Server. (CVE-2021-44790)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system’s self-reported version number.
