An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.3 is affected. The issue involves the "Kernel" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.

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 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
