An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11 is affected. macOS before 10.13 is affected. tvOS before 11 is affected. watchOS before 4 is affected. The issue involves the "libc" component. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted string that is mishandled by the glob function.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 11.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as described in the HT208143 security advisory.
