An issue existed within the path validation logic for symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved path sanitization. This issue is fixed in iOS 15.3 and iPadOS 15.3, watchOS 8.4, tvOS 15.3, macOS Monterey 12.2, macOS Big Sur 11.6.3. An application may be able to access a user's files.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.2 Monterey. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - A memory corruption issue in IOMobileFrameBuffer that can lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel     privileges due to improper input validation. (CVE-2022-22587)

  - A buffer overflow issue in the kernel that can lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges     due to improper memory handling. (CVE-2022-22593)

  - An information disclosure issue in Model I/O that can lead to unexpected application termination or     arbitrary code execution due to improper state management. (CVE-2022-22579)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 11.x prior to 11.6.3 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  - A memory corruption issue in IOMobileFrameBuffer that can lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel     privileges due to improper input validation. (CVE-2022-22587)

  - A buffer overflow issue in the kernel that can lead to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges     due to improper memory handling. (CVE-2022-22593)

  - An information disclosure issue in Model I/O that can lead to unexpected application termination or     arbitrary code execution due to improper state management. (CVE-2022-22579)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported version number.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 15.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
