Description
This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44183)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an logic issue in mDNSResponder when handling errors. A local application can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44184)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions in Transparency. A local application can gain access to sensitive user information.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44164)
The vulnerability allows a local application attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by AppleMobileFileIntegrity. A local application can bypass Privacy preferences.
4) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40844)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure permissions set on temporary files by Shortcuts. A local application can observe data displayed to the user by Shortcuts.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44158)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Shortcuts may disclose sensitive information to a third-party without the user's consent. A remote attacker gain access to sensitive information.
6) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40791)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the Mail Accounts app stores sensitive information into log files. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44165)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the macOS kernel handles DHCP packets with an active VPN tunnel. A remote attacker can perform TunnelVision attack and gain access to sensitive information.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44169)
The vulnerability allows a local application to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in IOSurfaceAccelerator. A local application can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44176)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in ImageIO. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27880)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in ImageIO. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted image file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40850)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Game Center due to improperly imposed security restrictions. A local application can gain unauthorized access to certain files on the system.
12) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27876)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the Compression component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into unpacking a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the system.
13) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44171)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to a state management error in the accessibility feature. An attacker with physical access to device can control nearby devices.
14) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44191)
The vulnerability allows a local application to gain access to Bluetooth.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in kernel. A local application can gain unauthorized access to Bluetooth.
15) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44127)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authentication. An attacker with physical access to device can access Safari private browsing without authentication.
16) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27879)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in UIKit. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
17) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44126)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ARKit. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
18) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-44179)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to presence of insecure features in Siri on a locked device. An attacker with physical access to device can read contact numbers from the lock screen.
