CVE-2015-3761

TITLE

Apple OS X Privileged vulnerability in Kernel

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2015-004261

DESCRIPTION

The kernel in Apple OS X before 10.10.5 does not properly validate pathnames in the environment, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with system privileges, gain admin privileges, bypass security restrictions, cause denial-of-service conditions, obtain sensitive information, and perform other attacks. Note: The issue described by CVE-2015-3778 has been removed. The issue is discussed in BID 83590 (Apple Mac OS X and iOS CVE-2015-3778 Information Disclosure Vulnerability). These issues affect OS X prior to 10.10.5. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the program does not correctly validate the path name in the environment. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain privileges
