Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple MacOS X up to 10.10.3 Beta 1 (Operating System) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the component IOHIDFamily. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in IOHIDFamily in Apple OS X before 10.10.3 allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was presented 04/08/2015 by Luca Todesco and lokihardt@ASRT with Google Project Zero as HT204659 as confirmed advisory (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at support.apple.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2015-1140 since 01/16/2015. Attacking locally is a requirement. The requirement for exploitation is a simple authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. The advisory points out:

A local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privileges

A public exploit has been developed in Ruby. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 12 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 82699 (Mac OS X 10.10.x < 10.10.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities (FREAK)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family MacOS X Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 123515 (Apple Mac OS X v10.10.3 and Security Update 2015-004 Not Installed (APPLE-SA-2015-04-08-2)).

Upgrading to version 10.10.3 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (82699), SecurityFocus (BID 73982†), SecurityTracker (ID 1032048†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-49453†).
