Apple Xcode < 7.1 (Mac OS X)

high Nessus Plugin ID 86570

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host has an application installed that is affected by a vulnerability due to unexpected type conversions.

Description

The version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 7.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability in Swift-based programs due to unexpected values being returned for certain type conversions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by manipulating return values, to circumvent controls in program logic.

Solution

Upgrade to Apple Xcode version 7.1, which is available for OS X version 10.10.5 (Yosemite) or later.
