TITLE

Apple OS X of EFI Denial of service in the protected range registers of components (DoS) Vulnerabilities

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2015-005160

DESCRIPTION

The protected range register in the EFI component in Apple OS X before 10.11 has an incorrect value, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (boot failure) via a crafted app that writes to an unintended address. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-254: Security Features ( Security function ) Has been identified. 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, bypass the authentication mechanism, obtain sensitive information, and perform other attacks. These issues affect OS X prior to 10.11. EFI is one of the firmware upgrade interface components
