macOS 14.x < 14.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities (120911)

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a macOS update that fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A race condition in sshd affecting versions between 8.5p1 and 9.7p1 (inclusive) may allow arbitrary code execution with root privileges. Successful exploitation has been demonstrated on 32-bit Linux/glibc systems with ASLR. According to OpenSSH, the attack has been tested under lab conditions and requires on average 6-8 hours of continuous connections up to the maximum the server will accept. Exploitation on 64-bit systems is believed to be possible but has not been demonstrated at this time. (CVE-2024-6387)

 - A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period. (CVE-2024-6387)

 - Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 124.0.6367.155 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2024-4558)

 - A race condition was addressed with improved locking. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.3. An app may bypass Gatekeeper checks. (CVE-2023-27952)

 - Faulty input validation in the core of Apache allows malicious or exploitable backend/content generators to split HTTP responses. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.58. (CVE-2023-38709)

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 14.6 or later.
