Apple Xcode < 7.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 90148

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 7.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in Apache Subversion in mod_authz_svn due to a failure to properly restrict anonymous access. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted path name, to read hidden files. (CVE-2015-3184)

 - A flaw exists in Apache Subversion in the svn_repos_trace_node_locations() function that causes the first readable path to be returned when it encounters an unreadable path when following a node's history. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to access paths that were intended to be hidden.
 (CVE-2015-3187)

 - Multiple unspecified memory corruption issues exist in otool due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2016-1765)

Solution

Upgrade to Apple Xcode version 7.3 or later.
