Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS or Mac OS X security update or supplemental update that fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 0.0.x prior to Catalina Security Update 2022-001 Catalina. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A logic issue was addressed with improved restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.1, watchOS 8.3, iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2, macOS Big Sur 11.6.2. A malicious application may be able to bypass certain Privacy preferences. (CVE-2021-30946)

 - A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved memory handling. A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. (CVE-2022-22593)

 - An information disclosure issue was addressed with improved state management. Processing a maliciously crafted STL file may lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution (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.

Solution

Upgrade to macOS Catalina Security Update 2022-001 or later.
