CoreText in Apple iOS before 9 and iTunes before 12.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted font file.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.6.8 or later but prior to 10.11 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

The version of Apple iTunes running on the remote host is prior to 12.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the WebKit, CoreText, and ICU components, and in the bundled version of the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Redistributable Package. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary code, or gain access to encrypted SMB credentials.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of iTunes earlier than 12.3 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities which include :

 - A flaw exists in Microsoft Foundation Class's handling of library loading due to the use of a fixed path.  An attacker can place a custom version of the file or library in the path, and the program will load it before the legitimate version.  Thus, an attacker can leverage this flaw to execute custom code. (CVE-2010-3190)
 - International Components for Unicode for C/C++ (ICU4C) contains several flaws.  An overflow condition exists in the resolveImplicitLevels() function in 'ubidi.c', which is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. Additionally, an integer truncation flaw exists in the same function in 'ubidi.c'.   Either flaw may allow an attacker to crash an application linked against the library or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8146, CVE-2014-8147, CVE-2015-5922)
 - A flaw exists in CoreText that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling text and font files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker can corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1157, CVE-2015-5874, CVE-2015-3686, CVE-2015-3687, CVE-2015-3688, CVE-2015-5755, CVE-2015-5761)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-1152, CVE-2015-1153, CVE-2015-3730, CVE-2015-3731, CVE-2015-3733, CVE-2015-3734, CVE-2015-3735, CVE-2015-3736, CVE-2015-3737, CVE-2015-3738, CVE-2015-3739, CVE-2015-3740, CVE-2015-3741, CVE-2015-3742, CVE-2015-3743, CVE-2015-3744, CVE-2015-3745, CVE-2015-3746, CVE-2015-3747, CVE-2015-3748, CVE-2015-3749, CVE-2015-5789, CVE-2015-5790, CVE-2015-5791, CVE-2015-5792, CVE-2015-5793, CVE-2015-5794, CVE-2015-5795, CVE-2015-5796, CVE-2015-5797, CVE-2015-5798, CVE-2015-5799, CVE-2015-5800, CVE-2015-5801, CVE-2015-5802, CVE-2015-5803, CVE-2015-5804, CVE-2015-5805, CVE-2015-5806, CVE-2015-5807, CVE-2015-5808, CVE-2015-5809, CVE-2015-5810, CVE-2015-5811, CVE-2015-5812, CVE-2015-5813, CVE-2015-5814, CVE-2015-5815, CVE-2015-5816, CVE-2015-5817, CVE-2015-5818, CVE-2015-5819, CVE-2015-5821, CVE-2015-5822, CVE-2015-5823)
 - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of network connection redirects. This may allow a remote man-in-the-middle attacker to gain access to hashed SMB credential information. (CVE-2015-5920)
