Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS security update.

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 11.x prior to 11.6.2 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

 - A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling. Processing a maliciously crafted USD file may lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2021-30979)

 - An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. Playing a malicious audio file may lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2021-30958)

 - An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. Processing a maliciously crafted USD file may disclose memory contents. (CVE-2021-30929)

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

Solution

Upgrade to macOS 11.6.2 or later.
