An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. macOS before 10.13.5 is affected. The issue involves the "Hypervisor" component. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted app.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.13.x prior to 10.13.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

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

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

  - afpserver
  - AppleGraphicsControl
  - APR
  - ATS
  - CFNetwork
  - CoreAnimation
  - CoreCrypto
  - CoreFoundation
  - CUPS
  - Dictionary
  - dyld
  - Foundation
  - Heimdal
  - Hypervisor
  - ICU
  - Intel Graphics Driver
  - IOGraphics
  - IOHIDFamily
  - IOKit

  - IPSec
  - Kernel
  - Login Window
  - mDNSOffloadUserClient
  - MediaRemote
  - Microcode
  - Perl
  - Ruby
  - Security
  - Spotlight
  - Symptom Framework
