critical Nessus Plugin ID 212421

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 15.x prior to 15.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.7.7, macOS Monterey 12.6.6, macOS Ventura 13.4. An app may be able to modify protected parts of the file system. (CVE-2023-32395)

 - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. xmlparse.c does not reject a negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. (CVE-2024-45490)

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 15.2 or later.
