Multiple privilege escalations in kernel in Intel Manageability Engine Firmware 11.0/11.5/11.6/11.7/11.10/11.20 allow unauthorized process to access privileged content via unspecified vector.

The remote host is running Mac OS X 10.11.6 or Mac OS X 10.12.6 and is missing a security update. It is therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities affecting the following components :

  - Audio
  - curl
  - IOHIDFamily
  - Kernel
  - LinkPresentation
  - QuartzCore
  - Sandbox
  - Security
  - WebKit
  - Wi-Fi

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - Audio
  - curl
  - IOHIDFamily
  - Kernel
  - LinkPresentation
  - QuartzCore
  - Sandbox
  - Security
  - WebKit
  - Wi-Fi

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

The Intel Management Engine on the remote host is affected by multiple buffer overflow and privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Note that due to the low-level implementation of Intel ME, Nessus may not be able to identify its version on the remote host at this time.
