Apple TV < 10.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9757
Synopsis
The version of this Apple TV device is not current and is thus unpatched for multiple vulnerabilities.Description
Versions of Apple TV earlier than 10.0.1 are vulnerable to the following issues :- A flaw exists in WebKit when handling the location attribute that allows a unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the cross-origin policies and disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-4613)
- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the FontParser component when handling specially crafted font files that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2016-4660)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of photo directories. (CVE-2016-4664)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Sandbox Profiles component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to disclose the metadata of audio recordings. (CVE-2016-4665)
- Multiple memory corruption issues exist in Webkit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4666, CVE-2016-4677)
- Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the System Boot component, within MIG generated code, due to improper validation of input. A local attacker can exploit these to terminate the system or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-4669)
- A memory corruption issue exists in the CoreGraphics component when handling specially crafted JPEG files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4673)
- An unspecified logic issue exists in libxpc that allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2016-4675)
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in AppleSMC's smcHandleYPCEvent facility that is due to insufficient locking, which may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-4678)
- A flaw exists in libarchive due to improper path validation when creating temporary files during archive extraction. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a symlink attack, to overwrite arbitrary files. (CVE-2016-4679)
- An unspecified flaw exists in the Kernel component due to improper sanitization of input. A local attacker can exploit this to disclose kernel memory contents. (CVE-2016-4680)
- A flaw exists in the CFNetwork Proxies component when handling proxy credentials that allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to disclose sensitive user information. (CVE-2016-7579)
- A race condition exists in multiple IOKit drivers related to how they use task struct pointers. This may allow a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2016-7613)
Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities.
