Mac OS X 10.8.x < 10.8.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.8.x that is prior to 10.8.5. The newer version contains multiple security-related fixes for the following components : - Apache - Bind - Certificate Trust Policy - CoreGraphics - ImageIO - Installer - IPSec - Kernel - Mobile Device Management -...

CVE-2013-3954

The posixspawn system call in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not properly validate the data for file actions and port actions, which allows local users to 1 cause a denial of service panic via a size value that is inconsistent with a header count field, or 2 obtain sensitive...

CVE-2013-3949

The posixspawn system call in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not prevent use of the POSIXSPAWNDISABLEASLR and POSIXSPAWNALLOWDATAEXEC flags for setuid and setgid programs, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a wrapper program that calls the...

Design/Logic Flaw

The machportspaceinfo function in osfmk/ipc/machdebug.c in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted call...

Path traversal

sys/openbsd/stackprotector.c in libc in Apple iOS 6.1.3 and Mac OS X 10.8.x does not properly parse the Apple strings employed in the user-space stack-cookie implementation, which allows local users to bypass cookie randomization by executing a program with a call-path beginning with the...

CVE-2013-3953

The machportspaceinfo function in osfmk/ipc/machdebug.c in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel heap memory via a crafted call...

CVE-2013-3949

The CVE-2013-3949 entry concerns the XNU kernel used in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x. The issue arises in the posix_spawn system call, which does not prevent the use of _POSIX_SPAWN_DISABLE_ASLR and _POSIX_SPAWN_ALLOW_DATA_EXEC flags for setuid/setgid programs. This enables local users to bypass intende...

CVE-2013-3951

CVE-2013-3951 affects Apple iOS 6.1.3 and Mac OS X 10.8.x. Kernel/XNU stack cookies could be bypassed due to improper generation/parsing of user-space stack cookies, allowing local attackers to bypass cookie randomization via a stack-guard= path. Exploitation is described in the kernel context as...

CVE-2013-3952

The CVE affects Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x, specifically the XNU kernel’s fill_pipeinfo in bsd/kern/sys_pipe.c. The vulnerability allows local users to defeat KASLR by abusing the PROC_PIDFDPIPEINFO option to the proc_info system call on a kernel pipe handle. Potential impact is exposure of kernel add...

CVE-2013-3952

The fillpipeinfo function in bsd/kern/syspipe.c in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x allows local users to defeat the KASLR protection mechanism via the PROCPIDFDPIPEINFO option to the procinfo system call for a kernel pipe handle...

CVE-2013-3949

The posixspawn system call in the XNU kernel in Apple Mac OS X 10.8.x does not prevent use of the POSIXSPAWNDISABLEASLR and POSIXSPAWNALLOWDATAEXEC flags for setuid and setgid programs, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a wrapper program that calls the...

Mac OS X 10.8.x < 10.8.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities
