"The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.6.2. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.2, macOS
    Ventura 13.1. An app may be able to disclose kernel memory. (CVE-2022-42854)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.2, macOS Big
    Sur 11.7.2, macOS Ventura 13. An app may bypass Gatekeeper checks. (CVE-2022-42821)

  - An access issue was addressed with improved access restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura
    13.1. An app may be able to modify protected parts of the file system. (CVE-2022-42853)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.2, macOS
    Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2. An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
    (CVE-2022-32942)

  - This issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, macOS
    Monterey 12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS 15.7.2. An app may be able to break out of its
    sandbox. (CVE-2022-42861)

  - A race condition was addressed with improved state handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.2, macOS
    Monterey 12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS 15.7.2, iOS 16.2 and
    iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2. An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
    (CVE-2022-42864)

  - A race condition was addressed with additional validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.2, macOS
    Monterey 12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS 15.7.2, iOS 16.2 and
    iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2. An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
    (CVE-2022-46689)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.2, macOS Monterey
    12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2. An app with root
    privileges may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-42845)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.2, macOS Monterey
    12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2. A remote user may
    be able to cause kernel code execution. (CVE-2022-42842)

  - An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. When parsing a multi-gigabyte XML document with the
    XML_PARSE_HUGE parser option enabled, several integer counters can overflow. This results in an attempt to
    access an array at a negative 2GB offset, typically leading to a segmentation fault. (CVE-2022-40303)

  - An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a
    hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be
    provoked. (CVE-2022-40304)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.1,
    macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, macOS Monterey 12.6.2. An app may be able to modify protected parts of the file
    system. (CVE-2022-46704)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.2, macOS
    Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS 15.7.2, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2. An app may be
    able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-42840)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.2, macOS
    Monterey 12.6.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS 15.7.2, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2. An app may be
    able to use arbitrary entitlements. (CVE-2022-42855)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS
    15.7.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2, macOS Monterey 12.6.2. An app may be able to read
    sensitive location information (CVE-2022-46718)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in iOS 15.7.2 and iPadOS
    15.7.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2. An app may be able to read sensitive location
    information (CVE-2022-46703)

  - A type confusion issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.2,
    macOS Ventura 13.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7.2. Processing a maliciously crafted package may lead to arbitrary
    code execution. (CVE-2022-42841)
