Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. It is caused by a validation issue and a use after free issue, leading to remote attackers reading restricted memory and gaining elevated privileges. Affected versions are 10.14.x through 10.14.6, and 10.13.x through 10.13.6. Apply Security Update 2020-002 for 10.13.x, and 10.14.x
