macOS 10.14.x < 10.14.6 SU2 / 10.13.x < 10.13.6 Update 2019-005 / 10.12.x < 10.12.6 Update 2019-005 Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability

critical Nessus Plugin ID 129467

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes an out-of-bounds read vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.14.x prior to 10.14.6 Supplemental Update 2, 10.13.x prior to 10.13.6 Security Update 2019-005, or 10.12.x prior to 10.12.6 Security Update 2019-005. It is, therefore, affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause an application crash, or potentially achieve arbitrary code execution.

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

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 10.14.x < 10.14.6 SU2 / 10.13.x < 10.13.6 Update 2019-005 / 10.12.x < 10.12.6 Update 2019-005 or later.
