The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 12.x prior to 12.6.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. This issue is fixed in     macOS Big Sur 11.7.9, iOS 15.7.8 and iPadOS 15.7.8, macOS Monterey 12.6.8. An app may be able to read     sensitive location information. (CVE-2023-40442)

  - The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in watchOS 9.6, macOS Monterey     12.6.8, iOS 15.7.8 and iPadOS 15.7.8, macOS Big Sur 11.7.9, iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6, macOS Ventura 13.5.
    An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2023-34425)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.5. A     sandboxed process may be able to circumvent sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2023-32364)

  - This issue was addressed with improved data protection. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.8,     macOS Ventura 13.5, macOS Big Sur 11.7.9. An app may be able to modify protected parts of the file system.
    (CVE-2023-35983)

  - A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. This issue is fixed in     macOS Ventura 13.5. An app may be able to read sensitive location information. (CVE-2023-40392)

  - OpenPrinting CUPS is a standards-based, open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like     operating systems. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.4.6, CUPS logs data of free memory to     the logging service AFTER the connection has been closed, when it should have logged the data right     before. This is a use-after-free bug that impacts the entire cupsd process. The exact cause of this issue     is the function `httpClose(con->http)` being called in `scheduler/client.c`. The problem is that httpClose     always, provided its argument is not null, frees the pointer at the end of the call, only for     cupsdLogClient to pass the pointer to httpGetHostname. This issue happens in function `cupsdAcceptClient`     if LogLevel is warn or higher and in two scenarios: there is a double-lookup for the IP Address     (HostNameLookups Double is set in `cupsd.conf`) which fails to resolve, or if CUPS is compiled with TCP     wrappers and the connection is refused by rules from `/etc/hosts.allow` and `/etc/hosts.deny`. Version     2.4.6 has a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-34241)

  - A use after free vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl offers a feature to verify an SSH     server's public key using a SHA 256 hash. When this check fails, libcurl would free the memory for the     fingerprint before it returns an error message containing the (now freed) hash. This flaw risks inserting     sensitive heap-based data into the error message that might be shown to users or otherwise get leaked and     revealed. (CVE-2023-28319)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl provides several different     backends for resolving host names, selected at build time. If it is built to use the synchronous resolver,     it allows name resolves to time-out slow operations using `alarm()` and `siglongjmp()`. When doing this,     libcurl used a global buffer that was not mutex protected and a multi-threaded application might therefore     crash or otherwise misbehave. (CVE-2023-28320)

  - An improper certificate validation vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way it supports matching of     wildcard patterns when listed as Subject Alternative Name in TLS server certificates. curl can be built     to use its own name matching function for TLS rather than one provided by a TLS library. This private     wildcard matching function would match IDN (International Domain Name) hosts incorrectly and could as a     result accept patterns that otherwise should mismatch. IDN hostnames are converted to puny code before     used for certificate checks. Puny coded names always start with `xn--` and should not be allowed to     pattern match, but the wildcard check in curl could still check for `x*`, which would match even though     the IDN name most likely contained nothing even resembling an `x`. (CVE-2023-28321)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 when doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might     erroneously use the read callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when the     `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle previously wasused to issue a `PUT` request     which used that callback. This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and either send     off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer. The problem exists in the     logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST. (CVE-2023-28322)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.6.8, iOS     15.7.8 and iPadOS 15.7.8, iOS 16.6 and iPadOS 16.6, macOS Ventura 13.5, watchOS 9.6. An app may be able to     read sensitive location information. (CVE-2023-32416)

  - The issue was addressed with improved handling of caches. This issue is fixed in tvOS 16.3, iOS 16.3 and     iPadOS 16.3, macOS Monterey 12.6.8, macOS Big Sur 11.7.9, iOS 15.7.8 and iPadOS 15.7.8, macOS Ventura     13.2, watchOS 9.3.
