Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in Apple MacOS X up to 10.10.2 (Operating System). This affects some unknown functionality of the component IOHIDFamily. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The IOHIDFamily kernel extension in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 lacks proper bounds checking on write operations, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the kernel s context via a crafted application.

The weakness was disclosed 04/08/2015 by Felipe Andres Manzano (cunzhang) with Adlab of Venustech as HT204659 as confirmed advisory (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at support.apple.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-4380 since 06/20/2014. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
