An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.2.5 is affected. macOS before 10.13.3 is affected. watchOS before 4.2.2 is affected. The issue involves the "LinkPresentation" component. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted text message.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 11.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 11.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the HT208463 advisory.

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.
