This vulnerability allows local attackers to elevate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple OS X. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the IOAcceleratorFamily2 interface. The issue lies in the failure to properly test a user-supplied index to ensure it is within the bounds of an array. An attacker can leverage this to escalate their privileges and execute code under the context of the kernel.
