critical Nessus Plugin ID 166680

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apple TV device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to its banner, the version of Apple TV on the remote device is prior to 16.1. It is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities as described in the HT213492:

 - Processing maliciously crafted web content may disclose internal states of the app (CVE-2022-32923)
- An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-32924)
- An app with root privileges may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-32926) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apple TV version 16.1 or later.
